Extra Details:: 2-Methylcitric Acid is a metabolite of Citric Acid. It is formed from the condensation of propionoyl-CoA and oxaloacetic acid catalyzed by a citrate synthase enzyme. 2-Methylcitric acid is an endogenous tricarboxylic acid formed by the condensation of propionyl-CoA with oxaloacetic acid by citrate synthase under conditions of propionyl-CoA accumulation. Accumulation of 2-methylcitric acid is associated with cobalamin deficiencies, propionic acidemia, and methylmalonic acidurias.
