Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlyceric acid
DescriptionGlyceric acid, also known as glycerate or D-groa, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar acids and derivatives. Sugar acids and derivatives are compounds containing a saccharide unit which bears a carboxylic acid group. Glyceric acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Glyceric acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Glyceric acid is a potentially toxic compound. Glyceric acid has been found to be associated with several diseases known as irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, and eosinophilic esophagitis; also glyceric acid has been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including primary hyperoxaluria and primary hyperoxaluria II.

Enzymes

Enzyme Details
1. Aldehyde dehydrogenase family 3 member B1
General function:
Energy production and conversion
Specific function:
Oxidizes medium and long chain saturated and unsaturated aldehydes. Metabolizes also benzaldehyde. Low activity towards acetaldehyde and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde. May not metabolize short chain aldehydes. Can use both NADP(+) and NAD(+) as electron acceptor. May have a protective role against the cytotoxicity induced by lipid peroxidation.
