Leucine oxidation to isovaleryl-CoA
The leucine-derived acyl-CoA proceeds through isovaleryl-CoA and its oxidation products.
Branched-chain amino acid catabolism · irreversibleIsoleucine carbon to acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA
The isoleucine branch yields both acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA.
Branched-chain amino acid catabolism · irreversibleValine carbon to propionyl-CoA
The valine branch proceeds to propionyl-CoA and then succinyl-CoA.
