Application

3-Hydroxyisobutyrate (HIBA) may be used to study the distribution, characterization and kinetics of enzymes involved in branched chain amino acid metabolism such as 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase (EC: 1.1.1.31) and 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA hydrolase (EC: 3.1.2.4). (R)-β-hydroxyisobutyrate may be used in stereospecific studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Increased urinary concentrations of 3-hydroxyisobutyric acid are a biochemical hallmark of metabolic disease 3-hydroxyisobutyric aciduria.

Packaging

Only a single patient with 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA hydrolase deficiency has been described in the literature, and the molecular basis of this inborn error of valine catabolism has remained unknown until now. Here, we present a second patient with 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA hydrolase deficiency

The branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)--isoleucine, leucine, and valine--belong to the limited group of substances transported through the blood-brain barrier. One of the functions they are thought to have in brain is to serve as substrates for meeting parenchymal energy demands.

3-hydroxyisobutyric aciduria is an organic aciduria with a poorly understood biochemical basis. It has previously been assumed that deficiency of 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase (HIBADH) in the valine catabolic pathway is the underlying enzyme defect, but more recent evidence makes it likely

Valine is one of the three branched-chain amino acids which undergoes oxidation within mitochondria. In this paper, we describe the current state of knowledge with respect to the enzymology of the valine oxidation pathway and the different disorders affecting oxidation.
