Identification
YMDB IDYMDB00033
NameGlyoxylic acid
SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBaker's yeast
DescriptionGlyoxylic acid, also known as a-ketoacetate or glyoxalate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids are compounds containing a carboxylic acid group with the formula -C(=O)OH. Glyoxylic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Glyoxylic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Glyoxylic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
