Malonic semialdehyde is formed in the alternative pathway of propionate metabolism and in the catabolism of beta-alanine. Studies of these pathways in cultured cells from a patient with mitochondrial malonyl-CoA decarboxylase deficiency indicate that malonic semialdehyde is directly converted into acetyl-CoA in man.
丙二酸半醛在丙酸盐代谢的替代途径和β-丙氨酸的分解代谢中形成。对一名线粒体丙二酰辅酶A脱羧酶缺乏症患者的培养细胞中这些途径的研究表明,在人体中丙二酸半醛可直接转化为乙酰辅酶A。
