Metabolite Identification
Common NameHydroxypyruvic acid
DescriptionHydroxypyruvic acid, also known as Hydroxypyruvic acid or OH-pyr, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as beta hydroxy acids and derivatives. Beta hydroxy acids and derivatives are compounds containing a carboxylic acid substituted with a hydroxyl group on the C3 carbon atom. Hydroxypyruvic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Hydroxypyruvic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Hydroxypyruvic acid and L-alanine can be biosynthesized from pyruvic acid and L-serine through its interaction with the enzyme serine--pyruvate aminotransferase. In cattle, hydroxypyruvic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the glycine and serine metabolism pathway.
