Description

Sodium 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate is a precursor of pantothenic acid in Escherichia coli[1][2][3].

Human Endogenous Metabolite

 

In Vitro

Sodium 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate (alpha-Ketoisovaleric acid) is a precursor of pantothenic acid in Escherichia coli[1]. Sodium 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate (alpha-Ketoisovaleric acid) enhances alpha-ketoisocaproic acid and alpha-keto-beta-methyl-n-valeric acid, but diminishes the corresponding amino acids, and causes an early decline of ornithine along with a late augmentation of plasma arginine[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Sodium 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate (alpha-Ketoisovaleric acid) induces convulsions through GABAergic and glutamatergic mechanisms in rats[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
