(S)-3-Hydroxyisobutyric acid
| Description |
(S)-3-Hydroxyisobutyric (3-HIBA) acid is an organic acid. 3-HIBA is an intermediate in L-valine metabolism. 3-HIBA plays an important role in the diagnosis of the very rare inherited metabolic diseases 3-hydroxyisobutyric aciduria (OMIM 236795 ) and methylmalonic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (OMIM 603178 ). Patients with 3-hydroxyisobutyric aciduria excrete a significant amount of 3-HIBA not only during the acute stage but also when stable. 3-hydroxyisobutyric aciduria is caused by a 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (PMID: 18329219 ). The severity of this disease varies from case to case. Most patients exhibit dysmorphic features, such as a small triangliar face, a long philtrum, low set ears and micrognathia (PMID: 113770040 , 10686279 ). Lactic acidemia is also found in the affected patients, indicating that mitochondrial dysfunction is involved. 3-hydroxyisobutyrate appears to specifically inhibit the function of the respiratory chain complex I-III and mitochondrial creatine kinase (PMID: 18329219 ).
