Metabolite Identification
Common Name(R)-3-Hydroxyisobutyric acid
Description(R)-3-Hydroxyisobutyric acid (3-HIBA) is an organic acid. The chiral metabolites 3-hydroxyisobutyric acid (HIBA) and 3-aminoisobutyric acid (AIBA) are intermediates in the pathways of L-valine and thymine and play an important role in the diagnosis of the very rare inherited metabolic diseases 3-hydroxyisobutyric aciduria (OMIM: 236795 ) and methylmalonic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (OMIM: 603178 ) (PMID: 10686279 ). (R)-3-Hydroxyisobutyric acid has been identified in the human placenta (PMID: 32033212 ).
