| Sodium ketoisocaproate Usage And Synthesis |
| Occurrence | Reported found in banana, asparagus, cheese, white wine, cocoa, blue cheese and provolone cheese. | | Uses | Sodium 4-methyl-2-oxovalerate has been used for quantifying branched-chain keto acids from cell extracts by HPLC-fluorescence method. | | Uses | 4-Methyl-2-oxovaleric Acid is an α-ketomonocarboxylic acid that triggers insulin release by acting upon receptor sites which differ from those occupied by amino acids. 4-Methyl-2-oxovaleric Acid is an intermediate in the metabolism of Leucine. | | Biochem/physiol Actions | α-Ketoisocaproic acid is a leucine metabolite that is known to induce insulin secretion from the βcells of pancreas. Enteral infusion of aα-Ketoisocaproate is found to ameliorate, endotoxemic condition. The resulting ketone bodies obtained from its conversion, might serve as an energy source. Accumulation of α-Ketoisocaproic acid is characterized in branched chain ketoaciduria, which is caused due to the lack of branched chain L-2-keto acid dehydrogenase activity. α-Ketoisocaproic acid causes dissociation in the oxidative phosphorylation reaction and acts as a metabolic inhibitor of α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. Thus, leads to a defect in the mitochondrial homeostasis, observed in branched chain ketoaciduria. |
