  <common-name>Methylmalonic acid</common-name>
  <description>Methylmalonic acid is a malonic acid derivative which is a vital intermediate in the metabolism of fat and protein. Abnormalities in methylmalonic acid metabolism lead to methylmalonic aciduria. This metabolic disease is attributed to a block in the enzymatic conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA.</description>

  <mechanism-of-toxicity>Methylmalonic acid is a vital intermediate in the metabolism of fat and protein. Abnormalities in methylmalonic acid metabolism lead to methylmalonic aciduria. This metabolic disease is attributed to a block in the enzymatic conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA. Accumulation of Methylmalonic acid in the body has been shown to be toxic.</mechanism-of-toxicity>

  <use-source>This is an endogenously produced metabolite found in the human body. It is used in metabolic reactions, catabolic reactions or waste generation.</use-source>
  <min-risk-level nil="true"/>
  <health-effects>Chronically high levels of methylmalonic acid are associated with at least 5 inborn errors of metabolism including: Malonyl CoA decarboxylase deficiency, Malonic Aciduria, Methylmalonate Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency, Methylmalonic Aciduria and Methylmalonic Aciduria Due to Cobalamin-Related Disorders.</health-effects>
