(S)-3-Hydroxyisobutyric acid
IUPAC 名称
(2S)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoic acid
描述
(S)-3-Hydroxyisobutyric (3-HIBA) acid is an organic acid. 3-HIBA is an intermediate in the metabolic pathways of L-valine and L-thymine amino acids. 3-HIBA plays an important role in the diagnosis of the very rare inherited metabolic diseases 3-hydroxyisobutyric aciduria (OMIM 236795) and methylmalonic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (OMIM 603178). Patients with 3-hydroxyisobutyric aciduria excrete a significant amount of 3-HIBA not only during the acute stage but also when stable. The deficient enzyme in 3HiB-uria remains unclear. The severity of this disease varies from case to case. Most patients exhibit dysmorphic features, such as a small triangular face, a long philtrum, low set ears and micrognathia (PMID: 113770040, 10686279) [HMDB]
