    Product Description

    Malonic acid-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of malonic acid by GC- or LC-MS. Malonic acid is a dicarboxylic acid. At physiological pH, malonic acid is deprotonated to malonate, which competitively inhibits mitochondrial complex II, also known as succinate dehydrogenase, or is converted into malonyl-coenzyme A (malonyl-CoA; Item No. 16455) for use in fatty acid biosynthesis.1,2 Malonic and methylmalonic acid levels are elevated in combined malonic and methylmalonic aciduria, a disorder characterized by deficiency in malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (MCD) or acyl-CoA synthetase family member 3 (ACSF3).3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
