The metabolism of 4-pentenoate in isolated kidney tubules has been investigated by 1H and 13C NMR. The 4-pentenoate metabolite, 3-keto-4-pentenoyl-CoA, accumulated in proximal tubules only and its formation could be competitively inhibited by octanoate. 4-Pentenoate was metabolized in thick ascending
