Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Methylpropanal
Description2-Methylpropanal, also known as isobutylaldehyde or isobutyral, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as short-chain aldehydes. These are aldehydes with a chain length between 2 and 5 carbon atoms. 2-Methylpropanal exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. 2-Methylpropanal is an aldehydic, floral, and fresh tasting compound. 2-Methylpropanal is found, on average, in the highest concentration within milk (cow). 2-Methylpropanal has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as greenthread tea, wheats, common grapes, other cereal products, and oxheart cabbages.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
NADPH-dependent reductase with broad substrate specificity. Catalyzes the reduction of a wide variety of carbonyl compounds including quinones, prostaglandins, menadione, plus various xenobiotics. Catalyzes the reduction of the antitumor anthracyclines doxorubicin and daunorubicin to the cardiotoxic compounds doxorubicinol and daunorubicinol. Can convert prostaglandin E2 to prostaglandin F2-alpha. Can bind glutathione, which explains its higher affinity for glutathione-conjugated substrates. Catalyzes the reduction of S-nitrosoglutathione.
