Metabolite Identification
Common NamePhosphoglycolic acid
DescriptionPhosphoglycolic acid, also known as phosphoglycolate or glycolate-2-p, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monoalkyl phosphates. These are organic compounds containing a phosphate group that is linked to exactly one alkyl chain. Phosphoglycolic acid is a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Phosphoglycolic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.

General function:
Carbohydrate transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Glycerol-3-phosphate phosphatase hydrolyzing glycerol-3-phosphate into glycerol. Thereby, regulates the cellular levels of glycerol-3-phosphate a metabolic intermediate of glucose, lipid and energy metabolism. Was also shown to have a 2-phosphoglycolate phosphatase activity and a tyrosine-protein phosphatase activity. However, their physiological relevance is unclear. In vitro, has also a phosphatase activity toward ADP, ATP, GDP and GTP.
