Beschreibung

Oxalacetic acid is an essential component of the Krebs cycle where it combines with acetyl-coenzyme A to yield citric acid. Thus, it is a necessary intermediate in the intercyclicpathway between the Embden-Meyerhof cycle and the Krebs cycle. The prime function of these cycles is the production of energy and the shunting out of these acids effectively slowsthe cycle down. Therefore, keto acids, such as pyruvate andoxalacetic, are frequently added to tissue culture media formulations to maintain maximum cell metabolism.
