α-Ketoisocaproic acid is an intermediate in the metabolism of leucine.^[2]

Leucine metabolism

Human metabolic pathway for HMB and isovaleryl-CoA, relative to leucine.^[2] Of the two major pathways, leucine is mostly metabolized into isovaleryl-CoA, while only 5% or so is metabolized into HMB.^[2]
