Description

3-Hydroxyisovaleric acid is a normal human metabolite excreted in the urine.


Solid


3-hydroxyisovaleric acid is a 3-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid that is isovaleric acid substituted at position 3 by a hydroxy group. Used as indicator of biotin deficiency. It has a role as a human metabolite. It derives from a butyric acid and an isovaleric acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-hydroxyisovalerate.|beta-Hydroxyisovaleric acid is under investigation in clinical trial NCT03018496 (Investigating the Effects of Beta-Hydroxy-Beta-Methylbutyrate on Glucose Handling in Older and Younger Men.).

3-Hydroxyisovaleric acid Use and Manufacturing

Uses

β-Hydroxyisovaleric Acid is a metabolite of the essential amino acid Leucine and is synthesized in the human body. Studies suggest that β-Hydroxyisovaleric Acid may have an effect on increasing muscle weight and strength. The presence of elevated β-Hydroxyisovaleric Acid is a sensitive marker of biotin deficiency and may indicate the presence of a genetic disorder such as biotinidase deficiency or holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency.
