Metabolite

In biochemistry, a metabolite is an intermediate or end product of metabolism.The term metabolite is usually used for small molecules. Metabolites have various functions, including fuel, structure, signaling, stimulatory and inhibitory effects on enzymes, catalytic activity of their own (usually as a cofactor to an enzyme), defense, and interactions with other organisms (e.g. pigments, odorants, and pheromones). Examples of primary metabolites produced by industrial microbiology include:
