L-Glyceric acid sodium is a urinary metabolite predominantly found in individuals with the rare inherited metabolic disorder, L-glyceric aciduria. This compound serves as a diagnostic tool for identifying primary hyperoxaluria type 2 (PH2) and can be used to differentiate between PH1 and PH2 based on its excretion pattern.
L-Cysteinesulfinic acid is a potent agonist at several rat metabotropic glutamate receptors [mGluRs, pEC50s of 3.92±0.03, 4.6±0.2, 3.9±0.2, 2.7±0.2, 4.0±0.2, and 3.94±0.08 for mGluR1, mGluR5, mGluR2, mGluR4, mGluR6, and mGluR8, respectively].
L-Diguluronic acid, a linear polysaccharide copolymer consisting of two L-guluronic acid (G) units, serves as a precursor for Alginate[1], a categorically unbranched polyanionic polysaccharide. Alginate finds application in the development of antifungal agent delivery carriers[2].
L-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid, an epigenetic modifier and potential oncometabolite in renal cancer, impedes mitochondrial creatine kinase (Mi-CK) activity, exhibiting Km and Ki values of 2.52 mM and 11.13 mM, respectively. Additionally, it obstructs histone demethylases, thereby encouraging histone methylation.
N-Carbamoyl-L-aspartic acid, an intermediate in pyrimidine metabolism, can be utilized to measure the enzyme activity of dihydroorotase (DHOse) [1] [2].
