Isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase
Cofactors used
What it does, reaction by reaction
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
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.
