Abstract
1. 3-Methylcrotonylglycine was identified in urine from an infant with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric aciduria. 2. The concentration of 3-methylcrotonylglycine in urine was approximately one sixth of that of the other metabolite of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA, 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid. 3. The presence of both metabolites in the infant's urine indicates an inhibition of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase activity in tissues of the infant.Entities:
