2-Oxobutanoic acid
2-Oxobutanoic acid (α-Ketobutyric acid) is a key metabolic intermediate derived from cystathionine lysis and threonine degradation. It is enzymatically converted to propionyl-CoA, enabling its entry into the citric acid cycle, and is utilized in studies of amino acid metabolism and cellular energy pathways in biochemical research.
