Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Sulfinylpyruvic acid
Description3-Sulfinylpyruvic acid, also known as 3-sulfinylpyruvic acid or 3-sulfinylpyruvic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-keto acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing an aldehyde substituted with a keto group on the adjacent carbon. 3-Sulfinylpyruvic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3-Sulfinylpyruvic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 3-Sulfinylpyruvic acid and L-glutamic acid can be biosynthesized from 3-sulfinoalanine and oxoglutaric acid; which is catalyzed by the enzyme aspartate aminotransferase, cytoplasmic. In cattle, 3-sulfinylpyruvic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the cysteine metabolism pathway.

Enzymes

General function:
Amino acid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Biosynthesis of L-glutamate from L-aspartate or L-cysteine. Important regulator of levels of glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter of the vertebrate central nervous system. Acts as a scavenger of glutamate in brain neuroprotection. The aspartate aminotransferase activity is involved in hepatic glucose synthesis during development and in adipocyte glyceroneogenesis. Using L-cysteine as substrate, regulates levels of mercaptopyruvate, an important source of hydrogen sulfide. Mercaptopyruvate is converted into H(2)S via the action of 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3MST). Hydrogen sulfide is an important synaptic modulator and neuroprotectant in the brain (By similarity).
