Product Data Sheet
2-Ketoglutaric acid potassium
Catalog No. A26159
2-Ketoglutaric Acid Potassium is a reversible and orally active inhibitor of tyrosinase, exhibiting an IC50 value of 15 mM. As a key intermediate in the Krebs cycle, it plays a role in ATP and GTP production and serves as a major carbon skeleton for nitrogen-assimilatory reactions. In addition to its enzymatic inhibition, 2-Ketoglutaric Acid Potassium has demonstrated the ability to suppress abnormal intestinal permeability and the expression of TNFα, both in vitro and in vivo. Its therapeutic applications extend to alleviating symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and rebalance of gut microbiota.
