Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Hydroxyvaleric acid
Description2-Hydroxyvaleric acid is an organic acid present in human biofluids. Its presence in urine has been associated with lactic acidosis, which occurs in Succinic Acidemia (OMIM 600335 ), a syndrome of organic acidemia associated with congenital lactic acidosis and decreased NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity. 2-Hydroxyvaleric acid presence associated with lactic acidosis has also been found in Propionyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency (OMIM 253260 ), or Multiple carboxylase deficiency (MCD), an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized primarily by cutaneous and neurologic abnormalities.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in sulfotransferase activity
Specific function:
Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs and xenobiotic compounds. Sulfonation increases the water solubility of most compounds, and therefore their renal excretion, but it can also result in bioactivation to form active metabolites. Sulfates hydroxysteroids like DHEA. Isoform 1 preferentially sulfonates cholesterol, and isoform 2 avidly sulfonates pregnenolone but not cholesterol.

General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring hexosyl groups
Specific function:
UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. This isoform glucuronidates bilirubin IX-alpha to form both the IX-alpha-C8 and IX-alpha-C12 monoconjugates and diconjugate. Is also able to catalyze the glucuronidation of 17beta-estradiol, 17alpha-ethinylestradiol, 1-hydroxypyrene, 4-methylumbelliferone, 1-naphthol, paranitrophenol, scopoletin, and umbelliferone.
