The oxMalive degradation of valine is known to proceed through a methylmalonate sere/-a non-enzymatic decarboxylation to aldehyde intermediate to sucdnyl-CoA. Good evidence suggests that at least one C 3 inter- propionaldehyde under physiological mediate i~ involved in the conversion of methylmalonate semialdehyde to succinyl-CoA, conditions. Humans also use a C a inter-However, the details of&is conversion, at least in higher organisms, remain unclear, mediate in the degradation pathway of valine.
