Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Glyceric acid
DescriptionL-Glyceric acid, also known as (S)-glycerate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar acids and derivatives. Sugar acids and derivatives are compounds containing a saccharide unit which bears a carboxylic acid group. L-Glyceric acid, with regard to humans, has been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including glycolic aciduria and glutaric acidemia type 2. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on L-Glyceric acid.
