Metabolite Identification
Common Name1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid
Description1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid is found in corn. 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid is isolated from plants e.g. sugarbeet sap, sap of Acer saccharinum (maple syrup). Propane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid, also known as tricarballylic acid, carballylic acid, and beta-carboxyglutaric acid, is a tricarboxylic acid that has three carboxylic acid functional groups. The compound is an inhibitor of the enzyme aconitase and interferes with the Krebs cycle. 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid can be produced by Bacteroides, Butyrivibrio, Megasphaera, Wolinella and fungi Nectriaceae (PMID:22815244 ; PMID:16346691 ). It is also associated with Fumonisins. Fumonisins are fungal toxins produced by Fusarium verticilloides. Detection of this compound indicates presence of fumonisins in gastrointestinal tract. Corn intake or corn contaminated with fumonisins can lead to increased levels of tricarballylic acid (PMID:22815244 ).
