Identification
Common Name3-Mercapto-2-oxopropanoic acid
ClassSmall Molecule
Description3-3-3-mercaptopyruvic acid, also known as 3-mercaptopyruvic acid or 3-3-mercaptopyruvic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-keto acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing an aldehyde substituted with a keto group on the adjacent carbon. 3-3-3-mercaptopyruvic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3-3-3-mercaptopyruvic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 3-3-3-mercaptopyruvic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 3-3-3-mercaptopyruvic acid and cyanide can be converted into pyruvic acid and thiocyanate through its interaction with the enzyme 3-3-mercaptopyruvic acid sulfurtransferase. In addition, 3-3-3-mercaptopyruvic acid can be biosynthesized from 3-mercaptolactic acid; which is catalyzed by the enzyme L-lactate dehydrogenase. In cattle, 3-3-mercaptopyruvic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the cysteine metabolism pathway.
