Produktinformation

• Name: 2-Oxovaleric acid
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 2-Oxovaleric acid is a monocarboxylic acid that is produced by the oxidation of 2-oxopentanoic acid. It was first discovered as an inhibitory compound for glutamate dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the conversion of glutamate to alpha-ketoglutarate. This inhibition leads to a buildup of glutamate in the cell, which can cause metabolic disorders. The importance of 2-oxovaleric acid was demonstrated using a chromatographic method on type strain cells. The electron microscopic images showed that 2-oxovaleric acid inhibited the growth of bacteria by binding to extracellular Ca2+, carbon source, and animals.
