QUICK LINKS

D-alpha-Hydroxyisocaproic acid functions as an inhibitor of the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase. By inhibiting this enzyme, it disrupts the conversion of isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate, leading to a decrease in the production of NADH and ATP. This disruption ultimately affects the energy metabolism of the cell, impacting various cellular processes. D-alpha-Hydroxyisocaproic acid may modulate the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism and mitochondrial function. Its mechanism of action involves influencing the activity of key metabolic pathways, which can have implications for cellular function and metabolism in experimental applications.
