Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-methyl-cis-aconitic acid
Description2-methyl-cis-aconitic acid is a dicarboxylic acid and a key metabolite in various biochemical pathways. Its chemical structure features a double bond and two carboxylic acid groups, making it a member of the aconitic acid family. This compound is notably involved in metabolic pathways related to the degradation of certain amino acids and organic acids. Specifically, it has been identified in elevated levels in the urine of patients with isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (IVA), indicating its role in metabolic disorders (PMID:19343532 ). Additionally, a proposed function for the translational product of the acnM gene suggests that it encodes a 2-methyl-cis-aconitic acid hydratase, which may be crucial for the enzymatic conversion of this metabolite in various metabolic processes (PMID:11495997 ). Overall, 2-methyl-cis-aconitic acid serves as an important intermediate in metabolic pathways, reflecting its significance in both normal physiology and certain pathological conditions.
