Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Hydroxy-3-methylbutyric acid
Description2-Hydroxy-3-methylbutyric acid (also known as 2-Hydroxyisovaleric acid) is a metabolite found in the urine of patients with Phenylketonuria (PMID 7978272 ), Methylmalonic acidemia, Propionic acidemia, 3-Ketothiolase deficiency, Isovaleric acidemia, 3-Methylcrotonylglycemia, 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acidemia, Multiple carboxylase deficiency, Glutaric aciduria, Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, glyceroluria, Tyrosinemia type 1, Galactosemia, and Maple syrup urine disease (PMID 11048741 ). 2-hydroxyisovaleric acid has been identified in the urine of patients with lactic and ketoacidosis (PMID: 884872 ). It has also been identified in the urine of severely asphyxiated babies (PMID: 1610944 ). 2-hydroxyisovaleric acid originates mainly from ketogenesis and from the metabolism of valine, leucine and isoleucine (PMID: 6434570 ).
