Biological function summary

This compound plays an important role in signaling processes related to oxidative stress. MDA is not part of a protein complex but it interacts with proteins by forming adducts with lysine and histidine residues. Such adduct formations may alter protein function and structure providing insights into oxidative modifications of biomolecules. In research settings scientists often use malondialdehyde tests such as the malondialdehyde ELISA kit to quantify MDA levels as a sign of oxidative damage in cells and tissues.

Pathways

Malondialdehyde integrates into the lipid peroxidation pathway. This pathway functions as a feedback loop indicating oxidative stress conditions within cells. Another related pathway includes the arachidonic acid metabolism. MDA formation signals further lipid peroxidation impacting the interaction with several proteins including cyclooxygenases which are involved in inflammation processes.
