PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Pyruvic acid is a 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid that is the 2-keto derivative of propionic acid. It is a metabolite obtained during glycolysis. It has a role as a fundamental metabolite and a cofactor. It is functionally related to a propionic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a pyruvate.
