2-Ketoglutaric acid (Alpha-Ketoglutaric acid) Sodium (GMP) is 2-Ketoglutaric acid Sodium (HY-W013636A) produced by using GMP guidelines. GMP small molecules work appropriately as an auxiliary reagent for cell therapy manufacture. 2-Ketoglutaric acid Sodium is an intermediate in the production of ATP or GTP in the Krebs cycle. 2-Ketoglutaric acid Sodium also acts as the major carbon skeleton for nitrogen-assimilatory reactions. 2-Ketoglutaric acid Sodium is a reversible inhibitor of tyrosinase (IC50=15 mM).
