Metabolite Identification
Common NamePropynoic acid
DescriptionPropynoic acid, also known as propiolic acid, is involved in propanoate metabolism and is interconverted into 2-propyn-1-al by mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase. Propynoic acid is an unsaturated organic acid and it can be prepared by boiling acetylene dicarboxylic acid. It is chemically obtained by the action of alcoholic potash on dibromosuccinic acid, or its acid potassium salt with water. It forms silky crystals which melt at 6°C and boil at about 144°C with decomposition. It is soluble in water and possesses an odour resembling that of acetic acid. Exposure to sunlight converts it into trimesic acid (benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid). It undergoes bromination to give dibromoacrylic acid. With hydrogen chloride it forms chloroacrylic acid. Its ethyl ester condenses with hydrazine to form pyrazolone. Propynoic acid forms a characteristic explosive silver salt upon the addition of ammoniacal silver nitrate to its aqueous solution, and an amorphous precipitate which explodes upon warming with ammoniacal cuprous chloride. Its ethyl ester condenses with hydrazine to form pyrazolone (Wikipedia ).

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
Converts gamma-trimethylaminobutyraldehyde into gamma-butyrobetaine. Catalyzes the irreversible oxidation of a broad range of aldehydes to the corresponding acids in an NAD-dependent reaction.
Gene Name:
ALDH9A1
Uniprot ID:
P49189
Molecular weight:
56291.485
Reactions
2-Propyn-1-al + NAD + Water → Propynoic acid + NADH + Hydrogen Iondetails
General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
Multifunctional enzyme mediating important protective effects. Metabolizes betaine aldehyde to betaine, an important cellular osmolyte and methyl donor. Protects cells from oxidative stress by metabolizing a number of lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes. Involved in lysine catabolism.
Gene Name:
ALDH7A1
Uniprot ID:
P49419
Molecular weight:
