In 3-MCC deficiency 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA, may form glycine and carnitine conjugates. The primary metabolites are 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid(3-HIVA), 3-hydroxyisovaleryl carnitine(3-HIVC) and 3-methylcrotonylglycine(3-MCG). 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid(3-HIVA) and 3-methylcrotonylglycine(3-MCG) are increased in urine, and 3-hydroxyisovaleryl carnitine(3-HIVC) is found in blood and urine. 3-MCC is one of the...
