β-Hydroxypyruvic acid (CAS 1113-60-6)
QUICK LINKS
β-Hydroxypyruvic acid is a metabolite involved in the pathway of carbon in photorespiration.β-Hydroxypyruvic acid, also referred to as 3-hydroxypyruvate or OH-pyr, plays a role in the carbon pathway of photorespiration. It is a 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid closely related to pyruvic acid, with a hydroxy group replacing one of the methyl hydrogens. This compound serves as an intermediate in the metabolism of glycine and serine, found in both human and Escherichia coli metabolic processes.In the realm of organic chemistry, β-Hydroxypyruvic acid falls under the category of beta hydroxy acids and derivatives, characterized by a carboxylic acid group substituted with a hydroxyl group on the C3 carbon atom. It exhibits solubility in water and displays moderate acidity as determined by its pKa value. β-Hydroxypyruvic acid has been identified in various biofluids, including urine and blood, and is predominantly located within cellular compartments such as the mitochondria, peroxisome, and cytoplasm.
