Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethylmalonyl-CoA
DescriptionMethylmalonyl-CoA is a key metabolite in the class of acyl-CoA derivatives, specifically involved in the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids and odd-chain fatty acids. Its chemical structure features a malonyl moiety attached to coenzyme A, facilitating its role in various biochemical pathways. Methylmalonyl-CoA is primarily involved in the catabolism of propionate, where it is converted into succinyl-CoA by the enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, a process that requires vitamin B12 as a cofactor (PMID:40790789 ). Additionally, it plays a role in lipid synthesis, with pathways stimulated by methylmalonyl-CoA influencing growth and metabolism in certain mutants (PMID:41040295 ). The compound is also implicated in metabolic stress responses, as seen in kidney damage linked to methylmalonyl-CoA mutase deficiency (PMID:40998969 ). Furthermore, it is involved in maintaining energy balance under hypoxic conditions by redirecting carbon flux through the methylmalonyl-CoA pathway (PMID:40871463 ). Overall, methylmalonyl-CoA serves as a crucial intermediate in multiple metabolic processes, highlighting its importance in both energy metabolism and the synthesis of vital biomolecules.
