α-Ketoglutaric acid is an organic compound with the formula H 2 CC(O)(CH 2) 2 CO 2 H). A white, nontoxic solid, it is a common dicarboxylic acid. Relevant to its biological roles, it exists in water as its conjugate base α-ketoglutarate. It is also classified as a 2-ketocarboxylic acid. β-Ketoglutaric acid is an isomer. "Ketoglutaric acid ...
Ketoglutaric acid or oxoglutaric acid, or its conjugate base, the carboxylate ketoglutarate or oxoglutarate, may refer to the following chemical compounds: α-Ketoglutaric acid, an intermediate in the citric acid cycle; β-Ketoglutaric acid (acetonedicarboxylic acid or 3-oxoglutaric acid)
alpha-ketoglutaric acid, a 5-carbon ketoacid derived from glutamic acid. Alpha-ketoglutarate participates in cell signaling by functioning as a coenzyme. [6] It is commonly used in transamination reactions. Beta-keto acids, beta-ketoacids, or 3-oxoacids, such as acetoacetic acid, have
The specific enzymes are named from one of the reactant pairs, for example; the reaction between glutamic acid and pyruvic acid to make alpha ketoglutaric acid and alanine is called alanine transaminase and was originally called glutamic-pyruvic transaminase or GPT for short.
Glutamate is a very major constituent of a wide variety of proteins; consequently it is one of the most abundant amino acids in the human body. [1] Glutamate is formally classified as a non-essential amino acid, because it can be synthesized (in sufficient quantities for health) from α-ketoglutaric acid, which is produced as part of the citric acid cycle by a series of reactions whose ...
α-ketoglutarate acts as the predominant amino-group acceptor and produces glutamate as the new amino acid. Aminoacid + α-ketoglutarate ↔ α-keto acid + glutamate. Glutamate's amino group, in turn, is transferred to oxaloacetate in a second transamination reaction yielding aspartate. Glutamate + oxaloacetate ↔ α-ketoglutarate + aspartate
Hypochlorous acid is a natural molecule in the body but can also be used in skincare. Experts share how it’s used and why it’s the latest buzzy ingredient.
Calcium-alpha-ketoglutarate (C 5 H 4 CaO 5 •H 2 O) is a special form mineral calcium that can be used to restore calcium concentration level in the blood back to normal. Calcium-alpha-ketoglutarate binds excess phosphate and pass it as a waste, re-establishing normal balance of calcium and phosphate in the body.
