What is glyceric acid?
Description
Glyceric acid is a natural three - carbon sugar acid . Salts and esters of glyceric acid are known as glycerates.
Definition
ChEBI: Glyceric acid is a trionic acid that consists of propionic acid substituted at positions 2 and 3 by hydroxy groups. It has a role as a fundamental metabolite. It is functionally related to a propionic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a glycerate.
Biotechnological Applications
Several phosphate derivatives of glyceric acid, including 2- phospho glyceric acid, 3-phosphoglyceric acid, 2,3-bi sphospho glyceric acid, and 1,3-bi sphospho glyceric acid, are important biochemical intermediates in Glycolysis.
