Metabolite Identification
Common NamePimelic acid
DescriptionPimelic acid, also known as heptanedioic acid is a dicarboxylic acid. Derivatives of pimelic acid are involved in the biosynthesis of the amino acid called lysine. Pimelic acid is one methylene longer than a related dicarboxylic acid, adipic acid, a precursor to many polyesters and polyamides. Pimelic acid is essential for the synthesis of biotin (also called vitamin B7). Biotin is a heterocyclic, S-containing monocarboxylic acid that is made from two precursors, alanine and pimeloyl-CoA. Biotin is important in fatty acid synthesis, branched-chain amino acid catabolism, and gluconeogenesis. Biotin is found in a wide range of foods. Likewise, intestinal bacteria synthesize biotin, which is then absorbed by the host animal. Pimelic acid (which is the precursor for pimeloyl-CoA) is synthesized in many bacteria via a head-to-tail incorporation of acetate units through a modified fatty acid synthetic pathway using O-methyl esters disguised to resemble the canonical intermediates of the fatty acid synthetic pathway (PMID:21435937 ). Some bacteria and yeast synthesize pimelic acid not by biosynthesis, but via cleavage of longer chain fatty acids (such as linolenic acid) via a cytochrome P450-like enzyme (PMID:28196402 , 21435937 , 3236079 ). Pimelic acid is excreted in elevated amounts in the urine of individuals with mitochondrial beta-oxidation disorders and peroxisomal beta oxidation disorders (PMID:1527989 )
