Monosaccharides are compounds containing one carbohydrate unit not glycosidically linked to another such unit, and no set of two or more glycosidically linked carbohydrate units. Monosaccharides have the general formula CnH2nOn. 3-Mercaptolactic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3-Mercaptolactic acid can be converted into 3-mercaptopyruvic acid through its interaction with the enzyme L-lactate dehydrogenase. In cattle, 3-mercaptolactic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the cysteine metabolism pathway. 3-Mercaptolactate b-Mercaptolactate b-Mercaptolactic acid beta-Mercaptolactate beta-Mercaptolactic acid 2-Hydroxy-3-mercaptopropionic acid C3H6O3S 122.143 122.003764748 2-hydroxy-3-sulfanylpropanoic acid β-mercaptolactic acid 2614-83-7 OC(CS)C(O)=O InChI=1S/C3H6O3S/c4-2(1-7)3(5)6/h2,4,7H,1H2,(H,5,6) OLQOVQTWRIJPRE-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monosaccharides.
