General description

Glutamic acid is metabolized to α-Hydroxyglutaric acid in an NAD-dependent manner by cell-free extracts of Peptococcus aerogenes.[1] It is formed as an intermediate during glyoxylic acid metabolism in bacteria.[2][3]

Application

L-α-Hydroxyglutaric acid disodium salt is suitable for use in collection buffer for increased recovery of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1α), a marker of hypoxia in human tumors.[4] It is also suitable for the radiolabeled 5mC-5hmC conversion assay to study the effect of 2-HG on the TET family of methyl hydroxylases.[5]

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-alpha-Hydroxyglutaric acid accumulates as a result of a rare defect in L-2-HG dehydogenase, leading to the metabolic disorder L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (L-2HGA). L-2HGA is associated with neuronal defects, leukodystrophy and linked to an increased risk of brain tumors.
