PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
3-hydroxyisovaleric acid is a 3-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid that is isovaleric acid substituted at position 3 by a hydroxy group. Used as indicator of biotin deficiency. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is functionally related to a butyric acid and an isovaleric acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-hydroxyisovalerate.
