Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Hydroxyglutaric acid
Description3-Hydroxyglutaric acid, also known as 3-hydroxy-glutarate or 3-hydroxypentanedioic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as beta hydroxy acids and derivatives. Beta hydroxy acids and derivatives are compounds containing a carboxylic acid substituted with a hydroxyl group on the C3 carbon atom. 3-Hydroxyglutaric acid, with regard to humans, has been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including glutaric aciduria I and glutaryl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency (gdhd). Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 3-Hydroxyglutaric acid.
