2-Ketoglutaric acid is a reversible inhibitor of tyrosinase (IC50=15 mM) and exhibits antioxidant activity. As an intermediate in the Krebs cycle, 2-Ketoglutaric acid can generate ATP or GTP. 2-Ketoglutaric acid also serves as the primary carbon skeleton for nitrogen assimilation reactions.

2-Ketoglutaric acid (Standard) is a reference standard for research and analysis in studies involving 2-Ketoglutaric acid. 2-Ketoglutaric acid is a reversible inhibitor of tyrosinase (IC50=15 mM). 2-Ketoglutaric acid is an intermediate of the Krebs cycle and can produce either ATP or GTP. 2-Ketoglutaric acid also acts as a major carbon backbone for the nitrogen assimilation reaction.
