Metabolite IDPAMDB000441
Identification
Name: Aminoacetone
Description:Threonine dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidation of threonine by NAD+ to glycine and acetyl-CoA (5), but when the ratio acetyl-CoA/CoA increases in nutritional deprivation (e.g., in diabetes) the enzyme produces AA. (Chem. Res. Toxicol., 14 (9), 1323 -1329, 2001);
