Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Hydroxyglutarate
Description2-Hydroxyglutaric acid, also known as alpha-hydroxyglutarate, 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. 2-Hydroxyglutaric acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 2-Hydroxyglutaric acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. 2-Hydroxyglutaric acid is a potentially toxic compound. 2-Hydroxyglutaric acid has been found to be associated with several diseases known as eosinophilic esophagitis, deafness, onychodystrophy, osteodystrophy, mental retardation, and seizures syndrome, 3-hydroxyacyl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency, and colorectal cancer; also 2-hydroxyglutaric acid has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including l-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria.
