Background:

4-methyl-2-Oxovalerate is an immediate precursor and metabolite of L-leucine. It is a precursor leading to the synthesis of 2-methylpropyl glucosinolate, via L-leucine, in plants. 4-methyl-2-Oxovalerate is one of several plasma metabolites found to differ significantly between type 2 diabetes and control subjects.
