DL-2-Hydroxybutyric Acid (CAS 600-15-7)
QUICK LINKS
DL-2-Hydroxybutyric Acid (contains Polymolecular esterification product) is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) present naturally in the human body. It is a four-carbon dicarboxylic acid with a hydroxyl group on the second carbon. This acid can be found in human urine, sweat, and blood and plays a significant role in the formation of ketone bodies during the breakdown of fatty acids in the liver. Additionally, it serves as a metabolite for specific amino acids and participates in the biosynthesis of compounds. The applications of DL-2-Hydroxybutyric Acid (contains Polymolecular esterification product) are diverse, with uses in research, medicine, and industry. It contributes to various metabolic processes in the body and serves as a substrate for the enzyme acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, which facilitates the conversion of fatty acids into ketone bodies. Moreover, it plays a key role in the synthesis of essential compounds like acetyl-CoA, glucose, and glycogen.
