Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid
DescriptionD-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid, also known as (R)-hydroxyglutarate or (R)-2-hydroxy-pentanedioate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as short-chain hydroxy acids and derivatives. These are hydroxy acids with an alkyl chain the contains less than 6 carbon atoms. D-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. D-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. D-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid is a potentially toxic compound. D-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid has been found to be associated with several diseases known as spondyloenchondrodysplasia and d, l-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria; also d-2-hydroxyglutaric acid has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including d-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria.
