2-Keto-L-gulonic Acid (2KLG) is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) used to study sorbitol metabolism by Acetobacter melanogenus. The enzyme glucose dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to 2-Keto-L-gulonic Acid, which is then converted to ascorbic acid by the action of the enzyme L-gulonolactone oxidase. 2-Keto-L-gulonic Acid has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It has been used in the study of vitamin C metabolism, as well as in the study of cellular processes, such as glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation.
