2-Ketoglutaric Acid, also known as α-Ketoglutaric Acid or 2-Oxoglutaric Acid, is an organic compound that serves as an intermediate in the Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle).

 

1. Biochemical Research: Used as a research tool in studying metabolic pathways and biochemical processes, particularly those involving the Krebs cycle.
2. Nutritional Supplements: Sometimes incorporated into dietary supplements due to its role in energy production and amino acid metabolism.
3. Industrial Production: Employed in the synthesis of other chemical compounds and as a starting material in the production of certain pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals.

1. Intermediate in Krebs Cycle: Acts as a key intermediate in the Krebs cycle, facilitating the conversion of acetyl-CoA into carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the primary energy currency of the cell.
2. Amino Acid Metabolism: Involved in the metabolism of amino acids such as glutamic acid and glutamine, playing a crucial role in nitrogen excretion and the synthesis of other amino acids.
3. Energy Production: Contributes to the production of energy in the form of ATP through its role in the Krebs cycle, supporting various cellular functions and maintaining overall metabolic health.
