Metabolite Identification
Common NameAminoacetone
DescriptionThreonine dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidation of threonine by NAD+ to glycine and acetyl-CoA, but when the ratio acetyl-CoA/CoA increases in nutritional deprivation (e.g., in diabetes) the enzyme produces aminoacetone (Chem. Res. Toxicol., 14 (9), 1323 -1329, 2001). Aminoacetone is thought to be a substrate for SSAO (semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase), leading to the production of the toxic product methylglyoxal (Journal of Chromatography B. Volume 824, Issues 1-2 , 25 September 2005, Pages 116-122 ).
