3-Methyl-2-oxovaleric acid Chemical Properties, Uses, Production
Uses
3-Methyl-2-oxovaleric acid is a degradation product from Isoleucine. 3-Methyl-2-oxovaleric acid is a biomarker of mustard airway diseases (MADs) and uric acid stone[1][2].
Definition
ChEBI: A 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid that is valeric acid carrying oxo- and methyl substituents at C-2 and C-3, respectively. An alpha-keto acid analogue and metabolite of isoleucine in man, animals and bacteria. Used as a clinical marker for maple syrup urine disease (MSUD).
