General description

Methylmalonic acid is an indicator of vitamin B12 deficiency and methylmalonic acidemia. This Certified Spiking Solution® is suitable for use in preparation of calibrators or controls in clinical and diagnostic testing using GC/MS or LC/MS.

Application



  • Organic acid analysis for metabolic profiling: Research highlighted the integration of soil microbiota and metabolome, where methylmalonic acid was part of the metabolic profiling, revealing insights into how controlled release fertilizer impacts sugarcane growth, emphasizing the compound′s role in agricultural biotechnology (Yuan et al., 2023).


  • Vitamin B12 deficiency research: Methylmalonic acid was featured in research on the cellular mechanisms affecting the MAFB/NOTCH3 axis in osteosarcoma, where its levels could potentially reflect perturbations relevant to vitamin B12 deficiency, aiding in better understanding of disease progression (Zhang et al., 2024).


  • Methylmalonic acid standard for mass spectrometry analysis: The analysis of soybean root systems under varying nutrient conditions included methylmalonic acid as a standard in mass spectrometry to better understand nutrient uptake mechanisms, showcasing its utility in plant physiology and biochemistry studies (Qin et al., 2023).

Micronutrient deficiencies can affect cognitive function. Many young children in low- and middle-income countries have inadequate cobalamin (vitamin B-12) status. The objective was to measure the association of plasma concentrations of folate, cobalamin, total homocysteine, and methylmalonic acid with cognitive

Some studies comparing serum cobalamin in individuals with and without sickle cell disease (SCD) have suggested a higher prevalence of cobalamin deficiency in SCD but others have not. Our aim was to prospectively compare cobalamin status in African-Americans with and

There is an urgent need for proper utilization of laboratory markers to diagnose vitamin B12 deficiency that should reduce false negative cases. We worked out a diagnostic algorithm that provides a two-step detection of vitamin B12 deficiency using holotranscobalamin as

Plasma vitamin B-12 is the most commonly used biomarker of vitamin B-12 status, but the predictive value for low vitamin B-12 status is poor. The urinary methylmalonic acid (uMMA) concentration has potential as a functional biomarker of vitamin B-12 status

Children are susceptible to mercury toxicity, and mercury has immunomodulatory effects. Lower folate and B-12, and higher homocysteine may represent susceptibility cofactors. A large proportion of variability in rubella immune response is attributable to environmental factors. This study aimed to
