Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid with Cas 328-50-7
What is Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid?
Alpha ketoglutaric acid is an important biomolecule and one of the important intermediates in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It is a nitrogen transporter and a symbiotic substance in molecular oxidation. It plays an important role in the metabolism of microbial cells and is also an important precursor for the synthesis of various amino acids and proteins. And it can be used as a dietary supplement with broad application prospects.
Alpha ketoglutaric acid is a short chain carboxylic acid with multiple functions, which does not exhibit toxicity, and its aqueous solution has high stability. In living organisms, AKG is not only an important transitional product in the TCA cycle, but also a precursor of L-glutamate, L-glutamine, L-proline, and L-arginine.
