Product Data Sheet
α-Hydroxyglutaric acid
Catalog No. A29322
α-Hydroxyglutaric acid is an endogenous metabolite that acts as a competitive inhibitor of various α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, including histone demethylases and the TET enzyme family responsible for converting 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). This compound is instrumental in epigenetic research, influencing histone modification and DNA methylation processes. Its role in metabolic pathways also makes it valuable for studying glioma metabolism and hypoxia-related conditions.
