Metabolite Identification
Common NameMalonic acid
DescriptionMalonate, also known as H2MALO or HOOC-CH2-COOH, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dicarboxylic acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing exactly two carboxylic acid groups. Malonate exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Malonate exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In cattle, malonate is involved in the metabolic pathway called fatty acid biosynthesis pathway. Malonate has been found to be associated with several diseases known as combined malonic and methylmalonic aciduria, eosinophilic esophagitis, early preeclampsia, and colorectal cancer; also malonate has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including malonyl-coa decarboxylase deficiency.

Gene Name:
SLC1A2
Uniprot ID:

Molecular weight:
2798.0
General function:
Energy production and conversion
Specific function:
Sodium-dependent, high-affinity amino acid transporter that mediates the uptake of L-glutamate and also L-aspartate and D-aspartate. Can also transport L-cysteine (By similarity). Functions as a symporter that transports one amino acid molecule together with two or three Na(+) ions and one proton, in parallel with the counter-transport of one K(+) ion. Mediates Cl(-) flux that is not coupled to amino acid transport; this avoids the accumulation of negative charges due to aspartate and Na(+) symport (By similarity). Plays an important role in L-glutamate and L-aspartate reabsorption in renal tubuli. Plays a redundant role in the rapid removal of released glutamate from the synaptic cleft, which is essential for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate (By similarity). Contributes to glutathione biosynthesis and protection against oxidative stress via its role in L-glutamate and L-cysteine transport. Negatively regulated by ARL6IP5 (By similarity).
