α-KIV (α-Ketoisovaleric acid) is a keto acid compound with the chemical structure C₅H₈O₃, consisting of a keto group and an isovaleric acid group. It is primarily produced through the metabolism of the branched-chain amino acid valine, resulting from the deamination of valine, and is widely present in plants and organisms. α-KIV plays an important role in energy metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and the regulation of cell growth. Its metabolites, including isovaleric acid, are crucial for cellular energy production and metabolic regulation. Analyzing the content of α-KIV and its metabolites in plant and biological samples helps to study the biological functions of branched-chain amino acid metabolism, especially in plant growth regulation, metabolic disease research, and bioenergetics. This is significant for understanding plant growth and development mechanisms, improving crop production, and managing human health.
