Description

3-(Methylthio)propionic acid is an intermediate in the methionine metabolism.


Solid


3-(methylthio)propionic acid is a thia fatty acid acid consisting of propionic acid with a methylthio substituent at the 3-position; an intermediate in mammalian methionine metabolism in vitro. The simplest known phytotoxin, it is a blight-inducing toxin produced by the cassava pathogen Xanthomonas campestris manihotis. It has a role as a phytotoxin. It derives from a propionic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-(methylthio)propionate.
