Description

ChEBI: A valeric acid derivative having a hydroxy substituent at the 2-position and a methyl substituent at the 4-position; an alpha-hydroxy analogue of leucine. A bacterial metabolite, it has also been isolated from amniotic fluid, was found in patient with dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase deficiency and is present in the urine of patients with short bowel syndrome.


Solid


2-hydroxy-4-methylvaleric acid is a valeric acid derivative having a hydroxy substituent at the 2-position and a methyl substituent at the 4-position; an alpha-hydroxy analogue of leucine. A bacterial metabolite, it has also been isolated from amniotic fluid, was found in a patient with dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase deficiency and is present in the urine of patients with short bowel syndrome. It has a role as a metabolite. It is a 2-hydroxy fatty acid and a branched-chain fatty acid. It derives from a valeric acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 2-hydroxy-4-methylvalerate.
