Function
(S)-3-Hydroxyisobutyric acid (3-HIBA) (CAS: 2068-83-9) is an organic acid. 3-HIBA is an intermediate in L-valine metabolism. 3-HIBA plays an important role in the diagnosis of the very rare inherited metabolic diseases 3-hydroxyisobutyric aciduria (OMIM: 236795) and methylmalonic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (OMIM: 603178). Patients with 3-hydroxyisobutyric aciduria excrete a significant amount of 3-HIBA not only during the acute stage but also when stable. 3-Hydroxyisobutyric aciduria is caused by a 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. The severity of this disease varies from case to case. Most patients exhibit dysmorphic features, such as a small triangular face, a long philtrum, low set ears, and micrognathia. Lactic acidemia is also found in the affected patients, indicating that mitochondrial dysfunction is involved. 3-HIBA appears to specifically inhibit the function of the respiratory chain complex I-III and mitochondrial creatine kinase. BioTransformer predicts that 3-HIBA is a product of 2-methylpropanoic acid metabolism via a hydroxylation-of-terminal-methyl reaction catalyzed by CYP2B6 and CYP2E1 enzymes.
