propionic acid

propionic acid is a lipid of Fatty Acyls (FA) class. Propionic acid is associated with abnormalities such as Epilepsy, Infection, Tuberculosis, Alkalosis and Ischemia. The involved functions are known as Uptake, Biosynthetic Pathways, Methylation, Protein Overexpression and Biochemical Pathway. Propionic acid often locates in Body tissue, Cytoplasmic matrix, Membrane, Protoplasm and Extracellular. The associated genes with propionic acid are TRIO gene, TRRAP gene, SLC5A8 gene, SLC33A1 gene and Homologous Gene. The related lipids are Fatty Acids, Propionate, butyrate, Valerates and mycocerosic acid.
