Description

2-Oxo-3-methylbutanoic acid is a metabolite that belongs to the group of pantothenic acids. It is synthesized from pantothenate by enzymes in mitochondria, and also occurs as a metabolic intermediate in the body. 2-Oxo-3-methylbutanoic acid has been shown to have potential as a biomarker for congestive heart failure and obesity. The biochemical properties of this metabolite are not yet well understood. However, it has been shown to be an active component in vivo that may play an important role in energy metabolism. Structural analysis on this metabolite has revealed that it can bind calcium ions and form calcium pantothenate, which may be involved in the synthesis of ATP. X-ray diffraction data collected on this metabolite has shown that it has structural similarities with α subunit (ATP synthase). Dehydrogenase activity and calorimetric titration experiments have demonstrated that 2-ox
