L-alpha-Hydroxyglutaric Acid (sodium salt)

L-alpha-Hydroxyglutaric acid (L-2-HG) is an alpha-hydroxy acid. It is metabolized to 2-oxoglutarate (alpha-ketoglutarate) by L-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase, and mutations in this enzyme lead to 2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, a neurometabolic disorder characterized by increased L-2-HG levels. L-2-HG is structurally similar to alpha-ketoglutarate and competitively inhibits alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, including several involved in histone lysine and DNA demethylation.Formal Name: 2S-hydroxy-pentanedioic acid, disodium salt.
