Metabolite Identification
Common NameIsovaleric acid
Description3-Methylbutanoic acid, also known as isovalerate or 3-methylbutyrate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methyl-branched fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an acyl chain that has a methyl branch. Usually, they are saturated and contain only one or more methyl group. However, branches other than methyl may be present. 3-Methylbutanoic acid exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. 3-Methylbutanoic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. 3-Methylbutanoic acid has been found to be associated with several diseases known as crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, autism, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; also 3-methylbutanoic acid has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including isovaleric acidemia.
