Amino Acid Catabolism Overview (glucogenic vs. ketogenic amino acids; brief overview of branched-chain amino acid catabolism and phenylalanine/tyrosine catabolism as representative examples) Amino Acid & Nitrogen Metabolism · Cytosol + mitochondrion

step 8 Irreversible/directional

Valine-derived isobutyryl-CoA → methacrylyl-CoA → 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA → methylmalonate semialdehyde → propionyl-CoA → succinyl-CoA

Converts Valine-derived isobutyryl-CoA into Methacrylyl-CoA

Notes

FAD-dependent dehydrogenation, hydration, hydrolysis, NAD⁺-dependent oxidation, and the biotin- and adenosylcobalamin-dependent propionyl-CoA pathway yield succinyl-CoA. Therefore valine is glucogenic.
