Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Methylacetoacetic acid
Description2-Methylacetoacetic acid is a metabolite that has an increased excretion in patients with acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (EC 2.3.1.9) deficiency (OMIM 607809 , ACAT1; OMIM 100678 , ACAT2; OMIM 604770 , ACAA2; OMIM 607809 ). Thiolases are ubiquitous and important enzymes. Several isoenzymes are known, which can occur in the cytosol (ACAT2), the mitochondria (ACAT1) , or the peroxisomes (ACAA2). Thiolases are CoA-dependent enzymes which catalyze the formation of a carbon-carbon bond in a Claisen condensation step and its reverse reaction via a thiolytic degradation mechanism. mitochondrial acetoacetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) thiolase (T2) is important in the pathways for the synthesis and degradation of ketone bodies as well as for the degradation of 2-methylacetoacetyl-CoA (PMID: 17371050 , 14518824 , 9744475 , 9001814 ). Moreover, 2-methylacetoacetic acid is found to be associated with beta-ketothiolase deficiency, which is also an inborn error of metabolism.
