β-Hydroxypyruvic acid Usage And Synthesis

Occurrence

Reported found in blue cheese, provolone cheese, beer and cocoa

Uses

β-Hydroxypyruvic Acid is a metabolite involved in the pathway of carbon in photorespiration. It can also be used to treat fiber.

Definition

ChEBI: A 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid that is pyruvic acid in which one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a hydroxy group. It is an intermediate involved in the glycine and serine metabolism.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Metabolite involved in the pathway of carbon in photorespiration.
