Product Description

Product Description

Alpha-Ketoisocaproic acid        
CAS#  816-66-0

Description:
Alpha Ketoisocaproic Acid, commonly known as AKG, is an essential intermediate in the Krebs cycle, a series of chemical reactions in cells that help convert energy from food into ATP, the energy currency of the cell. AKG plays a pivotal role in various metabolic processes, including the synthesis of amino acids and the regulation of nitrogen transport. It is also a precursor in the biosynthesis of glutamate, an important neurotransmitter involved in cognitive function and memory.
