The relative carbon flux through the alpha- and the beta-keto pathways of leucine metabolism

JM Poston

Five rat tissues, liver, kidney, heart, brain, and testis, metabolize L- [1-14C]leucine by two pathways. The predominant flux is through the alpha-keto pathway in all tissues; the flux in the beta-keto pathway is approximately 1 to 5% of the total flux for all tissues except the testis where the flux in the beta-keto is one-third of the total flux. Intrinsic factor, which binds the cobalamin cofactor of leucine 2,3- aminomutase, effectively blocked the beta-keto pathway.
