Itaconic acid

Itaconic acid is a lipid of Fatty Acyls (FA) class. Itaconic acid is associated with abnormalities such as Tuberculosis and Bacterial Infections. The involved functions are known as Metabolic Inhibition, Gene Expression, Anabolism, Citric Acid Cycle and physiological aspects. Itaconic acid often locates in Protoplasm and Chromosomes, Human, Pair 13. The associated genes with Itaconic acid are Homologous Gene, IRG1 gene and Genome, Human. The related lipids are Propionate and Lipopolysaccharides.
