Product Information
2-Hydroxy-2-pentylbutanedioic acid is a condensation product of two molecules of the amino acid L-valine. It is a metabolite of valine and can be found in plants, especially the leaves. 2-Hydroxy-2-pentylbutanedioic acid is catalytically active and functions as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of adenine nucleotides, which are used to regenerate ATP. In plants, it has also been shown to function as a cofactor for enzymes that synthesize glucosinolates. 2HMBD binds to metal ions such as divalent metal ions and can be found in ecotypes that are tolerant to high levels of these metals (e.g., aluminium). 2HMBD encodes proteins that bind divalent metal ions and are involved in the cycle of metal ion transport.
