2-Ketoglutaric acid-13C2
2-Ketoglutaric acid-13C2 (Alpha-Ketoglutaric acid-13C2) is a 13C labeled 2-Ketoglutaric acid (HY-W013636). 2-Ketoglutaric acid (Alpha-Ketoglutaric acid) is an intermediate in the production of ATP or GTP in the Krebs cycle. 2-Ketoglutaric acid also acts as the major carbon skeleton for nitrogen-assimilatory reactions. 2-Ketoglutaric acid is a reversible inhibitor of tyrosinase (IC50=15 mM).

Biological Activity
Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs[1].
2-Ketoglutaric acid (Alpha-Ketoglutaric acid) has other physiological capabilities including reduction of ammonia level formed in the lung and general ammonia detoxification, protective role against lipid peroxidation and neuroprotective effect against cyanide poisoning[2].
2-Ketoglutaric acid acts as precursor for the synthesis of amino acids and nucleotides[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
