α-KIC (α-Ketoisocaproic acid) is a keto acid compound with the chemical structure C₆H₁₀O₃, consisting of a keto group and an isocaproic acid group. It primarily originates from leucine metabolism and is the product of leucine deamination, widely found in the human body and other organisms. α-KIC plays an important role in biological activity, participating in energy metabolism, promoting protein synthesis, and helping to maintain muscle function. Its metabolites include isovaleric acid, which is crucial in energy production and amino acid metabolism balance. Analyzing the content of α-KIC and its metabolites in plant and biological samples can reveal their roles in metabolic regulation, nutritional balance, and disease diagnosis, providing essential scientific insights for metabolic disease research and health management.
