2-OXO-Butyric Acid is also known as Alpha-ketobutyric acid.
- Alpha-ketobutyric acid results from the breakdown of threonine or methionine during glutathione production.
- Specifically, cystathionine is metabolized to alpha-ketobutyric acid and cysteine.
- a- ketobutyric acid enters the mitochondrial matrix and get converted to propionyl-CoA by the branched chain keto-acid dehydrogenase complex (BCKDHC) and enters the Krebs cycle at succinyl-CoA.
- Evaluate lactate and the branched chain keto acids
- Evaluate alpha-hydroxybutyric acid
- Associated Nutrients: Vitamin B3
- a -Ketobutyric acid is produced from cystine, along with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as a by-product.
- a- Ketobutyric acid is reversibly converted to a- hydroxybutyric acid.
