Compound | Description |
---|---|
valine | A branched-chain essential amino acid that has stimulant activity. It promotes muscle growth and tissue repair. It is a precursor in the penicillin biosynthetic pathway. |
isovaleryl-coenzyme a | |
isobutyryl-coenzyme a | |
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme a | RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation |
2-oxo-3-methylvalerate | |
methylmalonic acid | A malonic acid derivative which is a vital intermediate in the metabolism of fat and protein. Abnormalities in methylmalonic acid metabolism lead to methylmalonic aciduria. This metabolic disease is attributed to a block in the enzymatic conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA. |
alpha-ketoisovalerate | RN given refers to parent cpd |
leucine | An essential branched-chain amino acid important for hemoglobin formation. |
isoleucine | An essential branched-chain aliphatic amino acid found in many proteins. It is an isomer of LEUCINE. It is important in hemoglobin synthesis and regulation of blood sugar and energy levels. |
tiglyl-coenzyme a | |
2-keto-4-methylvalerate | |
succinyl-coenzyme a | |
acetoacetic acid | |
methacrylyl-coenzyme A | |
acetyl coenzyme a | Acetyl CoA participates in the biosynthesis of fatty acids and sterols, in the oxidation of fatty acids and in the metabolism of many amino acids. It also acts as a biological acetylating agent. |
acetoacetyl coa | |
propionyl-coenzyme a | RN given refers to parent cpd |
