QUICK LINKS

D-α-Hydroxyglutaric acid disodium salt is an alpha hydroxy acid, which is formed from the hydrolysis of (R)-5-oxo-2-tetrahydrofurancarboxylic acid. The enzyme Hydroxyacid-oxoacid transhydrogenase catalyzes the formation of D-α-Hydroxyglutaric acid disodium salt, whereas in bacteria it is catalyzed by 2-hydroxyglutarate synthase. Sodium (R)-2-hydroxypentanedioate exhibits a diverse array of biochemical and physiological impacts. It influences glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and blood pressure regulation. It influences cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cell adhesion, as supported by scientific evidence.
