Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlucaric acid
DescriptionGlucaric acid, also known as glucarate or D-saccharic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glucuronic acid derivatives. Glucuronic acid derivatives are compounds containing a glucuronic acid moiety (or a derivative), which consists of a glucose moiety with the C6 carbon oxidized to a carboxylic acid. Glucaric acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Glucaric acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
