2-Keto-L-galactonic acid is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of fatty acids. It is produced by the degradation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and has been shown to be a potential control agent for hepatic steatosis. 2-Keto-L-galactonic acid also inhibits the synthesis of dinucleotide phosphate in rat liver cells, leading to an accumulation of intracellular potassium ion. This compound inhibits the uptake of glucose by activating ATPase, which leads to an increase in intracellular pH. The uptake of 2-keto-L-galactonic acid into cells has been shown using cell culture experiments with wild type and mutant strains.
