Beschreibung

2-Hydroxy-3-propylbutanedioic acid is a dicarboxylic acid that is found in the human body. It is also known as succinic or malic acid, and it is a natural metabolite of glucose. 2-Hydroxy-3-propylbutanedioic acid is converted to succinic acid by the enzyme succinic dehydrogenase. Succinic acid can be converted to malic acid by the enzyme malate dehydrogenase. The conversion of 2-hydroxy-3-propylbutanedioic acid to either of these two compounds involves the removal of two hydrogens and one carboxylic group. These reactions are catalyzed by enzymes that are part of the citric cycle, which is involved in energy production in cells. 2-Hydroxy-3-propylbutanedioic acid has been shown to have antiinflammatory effects on cells and tissues, and may play a role in preventing kidney
