Dimethylmalonic acid(2,2-Dimethylmalonic acid) is a short-chain dicarboxylic acid found in human serum that can be used to prevent or retard denaturation of fish actinomyosin in freezing buffer solution (pH 7).

Methylmalonic acid is an indicator of vitamin B-12 deficiency in cancer patients.Methylmalonic acid is a competitive succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor.

2-Methylsuccinic acid (Pyrotartaric Acid) is a normal metabolite found in human fluids. Increased urinary levels of 2-Methylsuccinic acid (Pyrotartaric Acid) (together with ethylmalonic acid) are the main biochemical measurable features in ethylmalonic encephalopathy, a rare metabolic disorder with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance that is clinically characterized by neuromotor delay, hyperlactic acidemia, recurrent petechiae, orthostatic acrocyanosis, and chronic diarrhea.
