DescriptionSuccinic acid semialdehyde, also known as Succinic acid semialdehyde or Succinic acid semialdehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as straight chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with a straight aliphatic chain. Succinic acid semialdehyde is a drug. Succinic acid semialdehyde is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Succinic acid semialdehyde exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Succinic acid semialdehyde participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Succinic acid semialdehyde and L-glutamic acid can be biosynthesized from gamma-aminobutyric acid and oxoglutaric acid through its interaction with the enzyme 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, mitochondrial. In addition, Succinic acid semialdehyde can be converted into succinic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, mitochondrial. In cattle, succinic acid semialdehyde is involved in the metabolic pathway called the glutamate metabolism pathway. Succinic acid semialdehyde is a potentially toxic compound.
