2-Oxo-4-methylthiobutanoic acid

Definition

2-oxo-4-methylthiobutanoate, also known as 2-keto-4-methylthiobutyric acid, 2-keto-4-methylthiobutyrate or 4-(methylsulfanyl)-2-oxobutanoic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as thia- fatty acids. Thia-fatty acids are fatty acid derivatives obtained by insertion of a sulfur atom at specific positions in the chain. Thus, 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutanoate is a fatty acid lipid molecule. 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutanoate is slightly soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutanoate can be synthesized from L-methionine and butyric acid. 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutanoate can also be synthesized into S-adenosyl-4-methylthio-2-oxobutanoic acid. 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutanoate can be found in a number of food items such as cloves, highbush blueberries, common beets, and cashew nuts. 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutanoate can be found in urine. Within the cell, 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutanoate is primarily located in the cytoplasm and in the membrane. 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutanoate has been found in all living species, from bacteria to humans. In humans, 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutanoate is found to be involved in several metabolic disorders, some of those are S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) hydrolase deficiency, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency (MTHFRD), methionine adenosyltransferase deficiency, and glycine N-methyltransferase deficiency. 4-Methylthio-2-oxobutanoic acid is the direct precursor of methional, which is a potent inducer of apoptosis in a BAF3 murine lymphoid cell line which is interleukin-3 (IL3)-dependent (PMID: 7848263 ).
