Metabolite Identification
Common NameHomocitric acid
DescriptionHomocitric acid (CAS: 3562-74-1) is a normal urinary organic acid (PMID: 14708889 ). Homocitric acid is a citric acid analogue found as a minor metabolite in urine samples from patients with propionic acidaemia. Homocitric acid is formed by citrate synthase due to propionyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency (by the citrate synthase condensation reaction of alpha-ketoglutarate with acetyl coenzyme A and propionyl coenzyme A) (PMID: 7850997 ). Homocitric acid has been identified in the human placenta (PMID: 32033212 ).

General function:
Involved in metabolic process
Specific function:
Iron sensor. Binds a 4Fe-4S cluster and functions as aconitase when cellular iron levels are high. Functions as mRNA binding protein that regulates uptake, sequestration and utilization of iron when cellular iron levels are low. Binds to iron-responsive elements (IRES) in target mRNA species when iron levels are low. Binding of a 4Fe-4S cluster precludes RNA binding. Catalyzes the isomerization of citrate to isocitrate via cis-aconitate (By similarity).
