Leucine oxidation to isovaleryl-CoA
The leucine-derived acyl-CoA proceeds through isovaleryl-CoA and its oxidation products.
Branched-chain amino acid catabolism · irreversibleOxidizes isovaleryl-CoA early in leucine catabolism.
Isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase is a protein that speeds up a chemical reaction. Cells can adjust when and how strongly many enzymes work.
