Common Name
Malonic semialdehyde
Definition
Malonic semialdehyde is formed in the alternative pathway of propionate metabolism and in the catabolism of beta-alanine. Studies done on these pathways in cultured cells from a patient with mitochondrial malonyl-CoA decarboxylase deficiency show that malonic semialdehyde is directly converted into acetyl-CoA in man.
