(±)-3-Methyl-2-oxovaleric acid sodium salt is a mixture of the D- and L-3-methyl-2-oxovaleric acids. 3-methyl-2-oxovaleric acid is used as a substrate to study the specificity, distribution and kinetics of α-keto acid dehydrogenases. α-keto-β-methylvaleric acid is used to inhibit the mitochondrial α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDHC) to induce and study nerve cell death. α-keto-β-methylvaleric acid may be studied as a reactive oxygen scavenger.

The bacteriocin, lacticin 3147, increased isoleucine transamination by Lactococcus lactis IFPL359 in a cheese model system. The formation of alpha-keto-beta-methyl-n-valeric acid and 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-valeric acid increased by three times in cheese slurries at 12 degrees C and cheese aroma intensity increased

Endothelial cells (ECs) adapt their metabolism to enable the growth of new blood vessels, but little is known how ECs regulate metabolism to adopt a quiescent state. Here, we show that the metabolite S-2-hydroxyglutarate (S-2HG) plays a crucial role in
