2-Hydroxyglutaric acid disodium salt (Cat No.: R009748) is the sodium salt form of a hydroxy-substituted dicarboxylic acid, commonly used in biochemical research, especially in studies of metabolic pathways and neurometabolic disorders like 2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. It serves as a structural analog of alpha-ketoglutarate and can influence cellular metabolism and epigenetic regulation. The presence of up to 10% methanol, typically as a residual solvent from manufacturing or stabilization, should be considered when handling or formulating, especially in sensitive biological or pharmaceutical applications.
