Application

2-Methylcitrate is a component of the 2-methylcitric acid (2-MCA) cycle that utilizes propionate as a source of carbon and energy in bacteria. Trisodium 2-methylcitrate may be used to study this pathway

Biochem/physiol Actions

MCA is a diagnostic marker metabolite which cumulates in body fluids of patients suffering from the following inherited metabolic diseases: propionic acidemia (PA), methylmalonic aciduris (MMA), holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency (HCSD)[1]. There MCA occurs as a mixture of (2S,3S)- and (2R,3S)-stereoisomers.
