Applications
DescriptionOxaloacetic acid, also known as oxalacetic acid, is is an α-keto acid and a key component of cellular metabolism in its conjugate base form, oxaloacetate. Oxaloacetate reacts with acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA; ) and water to form citrate in the first step of the citric acid cycle and is regenerated by oxidation of L-malate in the final step. It is an intermediate in gluconeogenesis that is formed in mitochondria via carboxylation of pyruvate and subsequently decarboxylated and phosphorylated to form phosphoenolpyruvate. It can be converted to aspartate via addition of an amino group from glutamate. Oxaloacetate (30 μmol/min per 100 g for 30 minutes, i.v.) reduces blood glutamate levels, severity of neurological dysfunction, and brain edema in a rat model of closed head injury.
UsesUse as a TCA (Krebs cycle) intermediate supplement in hybridoma cell culture applications. Enhances hybridoma growth and productivity.
UsesOxaloacetic acid is a substrate for malate dehydrogenase and oxaloacetate decarboxylase. It is an inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase. It is four carbon dicarboxylic acid that is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle and glucogenesis.
General DescriptionOxaloacetic acid is a dicarboxylic acid. It is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle. It is highly soluble in water and is present ubiquitously. It is produced in the mitochondria by the action of pyruvate carboxylase on pyruvate. Breakdown products of oxaloacetate includes malate, pyruvate and aspartic acid.
