Description

α-Ketoisocaproicacid is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of leucine from α-ketoglutarate. This compound is formed by the decarboxylation of α-ketoglutarate and has been shown to inhibit voltage-dependent calcium channels. It also has a role in regulating intracellular Ca2+ levels, which may be due to its ability to cause cell death in wild type cells. α-Ketoisocaproicacid is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of leucine from α-ketoglutarate.
