Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlyceric acid
DescriptionGlyceric acid, also known as glycerate or D-groa, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar acids and derivatives. Sugar acids and derivatives are compounds containing a saccharide unit which bears a carboxylic acid group. At sufficiently high levels, glyceric acid can act as an acidogen and a metabotoxin. Glyceric acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Glyceric acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, glyceric acid is involved in the metabolic disorder called the glycogen storage disease type 1A (gsd1a) or von gierke disease pathway. Glyceric acid is a potentially toxic compound. Glyceric acid, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as ulcerative colitis, crohn's disease, colorectal cancer, and schizophrenia; glyceric acid has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder primary hyperoxaluria II. These are also the characteristic symptoms of untreated glyceric aciduria. It is a compound that is secreted excessively in the urine by patients suffering from D-glyceric aciduria, an inborn error of metabolism, and Glyceric acid anemia.
