α-Hydroxyisobutyric acid is a naturally occurring organic compound. Derived from isobutyric acid, it serves as a versatile compound with broad applications in scientific research. α-Hydroxyisobutyric acid finds extensive use in the scientific research field. One aspect of its metabolism involves the enzyme 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase, which plays a significant role in branched-chain amino acid metabolism. This enzyme facilitates the conversion of 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA to acetoacetyl-CoA, impacting the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose.
