2-Ketobutyric acid

Description

2-Ketobutyric acid, also known as alpha-ketobutyrate or 2-oxobutyrate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as short-chain keto acids and derivatives. These are keto acids with an alkyl chain the contains less than 6 carbon atoms. 2-Ketobutyric acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 2-Ketobutyric acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, 2-ketobutyric acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 2-ketobutyric acid can be biosynthesized from L-threonine; which is mediated by the enzyme L-serine dehydratase/l-threonine deaminase. In addition, 2-ketobutyric acid and coenzyme A can be converted into propionyl-CoA; which is mediated by the enzyme branched-chain alpha-keto dehydrogenase complex. In humans, 2-ketobutyric acid is involved in threonine and 2-oxobutanoate degradation. Outside of the human body, 2-Ketobutyric acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as black crowberries, lima beans, lettuces, oxheart cabbages, and grass pea. This could make 2-ketobutyric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. A 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid that is the 2-oxo derivative of butanoic acid. 2-Ketobutyric acid is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.

Enzyme Details

7. Cystathionine gamma-lyase

General function:: Involved in pyridoxal phosphate binding
Specific function:: Catalyzes the last step in the trans-sulfuration pathway from methionine to cysteine. Has broad substrate specificity. Converts cystathionine to cysteine, ammonia and 2-oxobutanoate. Converts two cysteine molecules to lanthionine and hydrogen sulfide. Can also accept homocysteine as substrate. Specificity depends on the levels of the endogenous substrates. Generates the endogenous signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and so contributes to the regulation of blood pressure. Acts as a cysteine-protein sulfhydrase by mediating sulfhydration of target proteins: sulfhydration consists of converting -SH groups into -SSH on specific cysteine residues of target proteins such as GAPDH, PTPN1 and NF-kappa-B subunit RELA, thereby regulating their function.
