Bioactivity | 2-Ketoglutaric acid potassium (Alpha-Ketoglutaric acid potassium) is an intermediate in the production of ATP or GTP in the Krebs cycle. 2-Ketoglutaric acid potassium also acts as the major carbon skeleton for nitrogen-assimilatory reactions. 2-Ketoglutaric acid potassium is a reversible inhibitor of tyrosinase with an IC50 value of 15 mM[1][2]. |
