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).
