| Description | 2-Hydroxybutyric acid, also known as a-hydroxybutyrate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha hydroxy acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing a carboxylic acid substituted with a hydroxyl group on the adjacent carbon. alpha-Ketobutyrate is produced by amino acid catabolism (threonine and methionine) and glutathione anabolism (cysteine formation pathway) and is metabolized to propionyl-CoA and carbon dioxide (PMID: 20526369 ). 2-Hydroxybutyric acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 2-Hydroxybutyric acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. 2-hydroxybutyric acid can be converted into 2-ketobutyric acid through its interaction with the enzyme L-lactate dehydrogenase a-like 6B. In humans, 2-hydroxybutyric acid is involved in the metabolic disorder called methylmalonic aciduria due to cobalamin-related disorders. Outside of the human body, 2-Hydroxybutyric acid has been detected, but not quantified in, milk (cow). This could make 2-hydroxybutyric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. It was concluded from studies done in the mid-1970's that an increased NADH2/NAD ratio was the most important factor for the production of 2-hydroxybutyric acid (PMID: 168632 ). Under such metabolic stress conditions, supplies of L-cysteine for glutathione synthesis become limiting, so homocysteine is diverted from the transmethylation pathway forming methionine into the transsulfuration pathway forming cystathionine. 2-Hydroxybutyric acid is a potentially toxic compound. 2-Hydroxybutyric acid, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as colorectal cancer, dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase deficiency, alzheimer's disease, and early preeclampsia; 2-hydroxybutyric acid has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency. 2-Hydroxybutyric acid is released as a byproduct when cystathionine is cleaved into cysteine that is incorporated into glutathione. 2-Hydroxybutyric acid is primarily produced in mammalian hepatic tissues that catabolize L-threonine or synthesize glutathione. |
