α-Ketoglutaric Acid, also known as 2-Ketoglutaric Acid, is a derivative of glutaric acid and is an intermediate in the kreb′s cycle catalyzed by glutamate dehydrogenase enzyme on glutamate. α-Ketoglutaric acid has demonstrated physiological effects on cells and tissues through the inhibition of enzymes involved in energy metabolism. α-Ketoglutaric acid′s significance extends beyond energy metabolism, as it is involved in various biochemical processes that are essential for cellular function and homeostasis. It is involved in cellular signaling and regulation. It acts as a signaling molecule that can influence gene expression, cellular differentiation, and adaptation to changes in the cellular environment.
