Chemical compound
2-Oxoadipic acid , also known as α-ketoadipic acid , is an intermediate in the metabolism of lysine and tryptophan . The conjugate base and carboxylate is 2-oxoadipate or α-ketoadipate , which is the biochemically relevant form. Glutaric acid is naturally produced by chain extension of α-ketoglutarate to 2-oxoadipic acid.
