Metabolite Identification
Common NameKetoleucine
DescriptionKetoleucine, also known as 2-oxoisocaproate or 2-oxoleucine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as short-chain keto acids and derivatives. These are keto acids with an alkyl chain the contains less than 6 carbon atoms. Ketoleucine is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Ketoleucine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Ketoleucine is a potentially toxic compound. Ketoleucine, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, missing teeth, eosinophilic esophagitis, and gout; ketoleucine has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder maple syrup urine disease.

Enzymes

General function:
Amino acid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes the first reaction in the catabolism of the essential branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. May also function as a transporter of branched chain alpha-keto acids (By similarity).
Gene Name:
BCAT2
Uniprot ID:
Q5EA40
Molecular weight:
44648.0
Reactions
L-Leucine + Oxoglutaric acid → Ketoleucine + L-Glutamic aciddetails
General function:
Energy production and conversion
Specific function:
The branched-chain alpha-keto dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the overall conversion of alpha-keto acids to acyl-CoA and CO(2). It contains multiple copies of three enzymatic components: branched-chain alpha-keto acid decarboxylase (E1), lipoamide acyltransferase (E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3).
