DL-Isocitric acid trisodium salt is the protonated form of isocitrate, a substrate in the citric acid cycle. It is useful as a marker for determining the composition of isocitrates in fruit products, including fruit juices.

Isocitric acid (Isocitrate), an isomer of citric acid, is a substrate for citric acid cycle and an endogenous metabolite, which has potential for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, Fe-deficiency anemia, and metabolic myopathies associated with a shortage of succinate dehydrogenase and aconitate hydratase, as well as the mutation of the gene of NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1).
