Chemical Information

3-(Methylthio)propanoic acid

3-(methylthio)propionic acid is a thia fatty acid acid consisting of propionic acid with a methylthio substituent at the 3-position; an intermediate in mammalian methionine metabolism in vitro. The simplest known phytotoxin, it is a blight-inducing toxin produced by the cassava pathogen Xanthomonas campestris manihotis. It has a role as a phytotoxin. It is functionally related to a propionic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-(methylthio)propionate.
