Application

α-Ketoglutaric acid sodium salt has been used in the human kynurenine amino transferase II (KAT II) inhibition spectra assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

α-Ketoglutaric acid is a key intermediate in the TCA Cycle. It also plays an important role in preventing nitrogen overload by combining with nitrogen released within the cell.
α-Ketoglutaric acid is the precursor for L-glutamic acid.

Oxidative cleavage of cycloalkene-1-carboxylates, made from the corresponding carboxylic acids, and subsequent oxidation of the resulting ketoaldehyde afforded the important 1-monoesters of 2-ketoalkanedioic acids. Thus ozonolysis of octyl cyclobutene-1-carboxylate followed by sodium chlorite oxidation afforded the 1-monooctyl 2-ketoglutarate. This is

Glutamine Metabolism is Dysregulated in Many Cancer Cells

Sigma-Aldrich presents an article about how proliferatively active cells require both a source of carbon and of nitrogen for the synthesis of macromolecules. Although a large proportion of tumor cells utilize aerobic glycolysis and shunt metabolites away from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, many tumor cells exhibit increased mitochondrial activity.

Fatty Acid Synthesis and Metabolism in Cancer Cells

Information on fatty acid synthesis and metabolism in cancer cells. Learn how proliferatively active cells require fatty acids for functions such as membrane generation, protein modification, and bioenergetic requirements. These fatty acids are derived either from dietary sources or are synthesized by the cell.

Protocols

Chiral LC-MS/MS of D- and L-2-Hydroxyglutaric Acid Biomarkers

We describe here a rapid and sensitive method to separate and measure D-2-OHG and L-2-OHG enantiomers using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) detection.
