Metabolite Identification
Common Name(S)-Methylmalonic acid semialdehyde
Description(S)-Methylmalonic acid semialdehyde, also known as (s)-methylmalonic acid semialdehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. These are carbonyl compounds with the generic formula O=C(R)C(H)C(R')=O, where R and R' can be any group (S)-Methylmalonic acid semialdehyde is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (S)-Methylmalonic acid semialdehyde exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans (S)-Methylmalonic acid semialdehyde participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, (S)-Methylmalonic acid semialdehyde can be biosynthesized from (S)-3-hydroxyisobutyric acid through the action of the enzymes 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial and enoyl-CoA hydratase, mitochondrial. In addition, (S)-Methylmalonic acid semialdehyde and L-glutamic acid can be biosynthesized from (S)-b-aminoisobutyric acid and oxoglutaric acid through the action of the enzyme 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, mitochondrial. In cattle, (S)-methylmalonic acid semialdehyde is involved in the metabolic pathway called the valine, leucine, and isoleucine degradation pathway.

Reactions
(S)-Methylmalonic acid semialdehyde + Water + NAD + Coenzyme A → Propionyl-CoA + NADH + Hydrogen carbonatedetails
General function:
Amino acid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes the conversion of gamma-aminobutyrate and L-beta-aminoisobutyrate to succinate semialdehyde and methylmalonate semialdehyde, respectively. Can also convert delta-aminovalerate and beta-alanine (By similarity).
Gene Name:

Reactions
(S)-b-aminoisobutyric acid + Oxoglutaric acid → (S)-Methylmalonic acid semialdehyde + L-Glutamic aciddetails
General function:
Nucleotide transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Oxidase with broad substrate specificity, oxidizing aromatic azaheterocycles, such as N1-methylnicotinamide, N-methylphthalazinium and phthalazine, as well as aldehydes, such as benzaldehyde, retinal, pyridoxal, and vanillin. Plays a key role in the metabolism of xenobiotics and drugs containing aromatic azaheterocyclic substituents. Is probably involved in the regulation of reactive oxygen species homeostasis. May be a prominent source of superoxide generation via the one-electron reduction of molecular oxygen. Also may catalyze nitric oxide (NO) production via the reduction of nitrite to NO with NADH or aldehyde as electron donor. May play a role in adipogenesis.
