step 12 Irreversible/directional

Beta-alanine → malonate semialdehyde → acetyl-CoA

Converts beta-Alanine into Malonate semialdehyde

› Notes

Beta-alanine transaminase (largely AGXT2-associated activity) transfers the amino group of beta-alanine to an alpha-ketoacid acceptor, producing malonate semialdehyde. Malonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH6A1) then catalyzes oxidative decarboxylation of malonate semialdehyde with CoA and NAD+ to form acetyl-CoA, CO2, and NADH; exact transaminase partners vary by tissue.
