Template:Leucine metabolism in humans

Human metabolic pathway for HMB and isovaleryl-CoA relative to L-leucine.^[3]^[4]^[5] Of the two major pathways, L-leucine is mostly metabolized into isovaleryl-CoA, while only about 5% is metabolized into HMB.^[3]^[4]^[5]

Template documentation

To transclude this template as is, use:
{{Leucine metabolism in humans | note=yes}}

Important: If the note parameter is set to yes (|note=yes), the article receiving the transclusion from this template must have a reference group for "note" included in a "Notes" or "References" section at the end of the article (code: {{Reflist|group=note}}).

Other optional parameters

To transclude this template with a different header, alignment, and/or caption, use:
{{Leucine metabolism in humans | header=(desired header) | header background=(color hex code) | align=(left/right/center) | caption=(desired caption)}}

The image's alternative text (i.e. |alt= parameter) is "Diagram of leucine, HMB, and isovaleryl-CoA metabolism in humans".

The transfer to carnitine by 4 carnitine acyl-CoA transferases distributed in subcellular compartments likely serves as an important reservoir for acyl moieties (39–41). 3-Hydroxyisovaleryl CoA is likely detoxified by carnitine acetyltransferase producing 3HIA-carnitine, which is transported across the inner mitochondrial membrane (and hence effectively out of the mitochondria) via carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase (39). 3HIA-carnitine is thought to be either directly deacylated by a hydrolase to 3HIA or to undergo a second CoA exchange to again form 3-hydroxyisovaleryl CoA followed by release of 3HIA and free CoA by a thioesterase.".

"HMB is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine (Van Koverin and Nissen 1992), an essential amino acid. The first step in HMB metabolism is the reversible transamination of leucine to [α-KIC] that occurs mainly extrahepatically (Block and Buse 1990). Following this enzymatic reaction, [α-KIC] may follow one of two pathways. In the first, HMB is produced from [α-KIC] by the cytosolic enzyme KIC dioxygenase (Sabourin and Bieber 1983). The cytosolic dioxygenase has been characterized extensively and differs from the mitochondrial form in that the dioxygenase enzyme is a cytosolic enzyme, whereas the dehydrogenase enzyme is found exclusively in the mitochondrion (Sabourin and Bieber 1981, 1983). Importantly, this route of HMB formation is direct and completely dependent of liver KIC dioxygenase. Following this pathway, HMB in the cytosol is first converted to cytosolic β-hydroxy-β-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA), which can then be directed for cholesterol synthesis (Rudney 1957) (Fig. 1). In fact, numerous biochemical studies have shown that HMB is a precursor of cholesterol (Zabin and Bloch 1951; Nissen et al. 2000).".
