Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid
DescriptionL-2-hydroxyglutaric acid is a member of the chemical class known as Short-chain Hydroxy Acids and Derivatives. These are hydroxy acids with an alkyl chain the contains less than 6 carbon atoms. L-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid (2-hydroxyglutaric acid) is an alpha hydroxy acid. In bacteria it is formed by a 2-hydroxyglutarate synthase (EC 2.3.3.11) and oxidized by 2-hydroxyglutarate oxidase. (Wikipedia , PMID 14491016 )
