Metabolite Identification
Common NameKetoleucine
DescriptionKetoleucine belongs to the class of Branched Fatty Acids. These are fatty acids containing a branched chain. (inferred from compound structure) Ketoleucine is also known by names such as 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoic acid and 2-Oxoisocaproic acid. (PubChem) In E. coli, the enzyme branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase (EC:2.6.1.42) catalyses the reversible conversion between ketoleucine and L-leucine. (KEGG)
