Chemical Information
FooDB NameMethylmalonic acid
DescriptionMethylmalonic acid, also known as 2-methylmalonate or methyl-propanedioate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dicarboxylic acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing exactly two carboxylic acid groups. Methylmalonic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Methylmalonic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Methylmalonic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, milk (cow). This could make methylmalonic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Methylmalonic acid is a potentially toxic compound. Methylmalonic acid, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with the diseases such as methylmalonic aciduria mitochondrial encephelopathy leigh-like; methylmalonic acid has also been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including transcobalamin II deficiency, cobalamin malabsorption, fumarase deficiency, and propionic acidemia.
