Methylmalonyl-CoA tetralithium

Methylmalonyl-CoA tetralithium, also known as Methylmalonyl coenzyme A, serves as a metabolic byproduct derived from the breakdown of valine, isoleucine, methionine, threonine, odd-chain fatty acids, and cholesterol. It is converted into succinyl-CoA through the enzymatic activity of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM) in the presence of the coenzyme vitamin B12 [1].
