What it does, reaction by reaction

1 reactions

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 6 Irreversible/directional

Leucine-derived isovaleryl-CoA → 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA → 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA → HMG-CoA → acetoacetate + acetyl-CoA

Converts Leucine-derived isovaleryl-CoA into 3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA

› Notes

Isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase uses FAD, 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase uses biotin, ATP, and bicarbonate, and downstream hydratase/lyase reactions form the final ketogenic products. Thus leucine is exclusively ketogenic.
