Alloisoleucine
Explanation: Alloisoleucine is a rare form of the amino acid isoleucine, which is one of the building blocks of proteins in the body. Unlike regular isoleucine, alloisoleucine is not normally found at significant levels in healthy people but may be found in people with maple syrup urine disease, an inherited condition in which the body cannot properly break down some amino acids. It is genetic and present from birth but symptoms may not appear until later, often during infection, fasting, surgery, or other physical stress.
Test purpose: Assess amino acid metabolism.
