Biochem/physiol Actions
Isovalerylcarnitine is the phenotypic abnormality in iso-valeric acidemia resulting from an accumulation of isovaleric acid, which is toxic to the central nervous system. Isovaleric acidemia is an autosomal recessive inborn error of leucine metabolism caused by a deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase resulting in the accumulation of derivatives of isovaleryl-CoA. It was the first organic acidemia recognized in humans and can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment with a protein restricted diet and supplementation with carnitine and glycine are effective in promoting normal development in severely affected individuals. An alternative pathway through glycine-N-acylase allows detoxification by producing isovaleryl-glycine, which is excreted. Thus, isovalerylcarnitine and isovalerylglycine are the hallmarks of this disorder in plasma and urine, respectively, and are elevated regardless of a patient′s metabolic condition.

When a 12-y-old girl suffering from isovaleric acidemia was treated with L-carnitine, there was a considerable increase in her blood and urine concentration of isovalerylcarnitine. When later the patient received an infusion of glycine in place of carnitine, isovalerylcarnitine reverted

Acylcarnitines are fatty acyl esters of L-carnitine and facilitate the entry of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria via the carnitine shuttle, where they are metabolized via ß-oxidation. Alterations of acylcarnitine species can be diagnostic for fatty acid oxidation disorders and
