an α-amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH(OH)CH3

abbreviated as Thr or T

Its codons are ACU, ACA, ACC, and ACG

This essential amino acid is classified as polar

Together with serine and tyrosine, threonine is one of three proteinogenic amino acids bearing an alcohol group

Threonine biosynthesis

CID 6288

Skeletal formula of threonine

residue is susceptible to numerous posttranslational modifications

CID 205

Computational Chemistry Wiki

3D stick model of L-threonine molecule

With two chiral centers, threonine can exist in four possible stereoisomers, or two possible diastereomers of L-threonine

However, the name L-threonine is used for one single enantiomer, (2S,3R)-2-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid

The second diastereomer (2S,3S), which is rarely present in nature, is called L-allo-threonine

metabolized in two ways

converted to pyruvate via threonine dehydrogenase

An intermediate in this pathway can undergo thiolysis with CoA to produce Acetyl-CoA and glycine

In humans, it is converted to alpha-ketobutyrate in a less common pathway via the enzyme serine dehydratase, and thereby enters the pathway leading to succinyl-CoA

Foods high in threonine include cottage cheese, poultry, fish, meat, lentils, and sesame seeds

Racemic threonine can be prepared from crotonic acid by alpha-functionalization using mercury(II) acetate
