Chemical Information

Name

D-Lactic acid

Description

L-Lactic acid, also known as L-lactate or L-milchsaeure, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha hydroxy acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing a carboxylic acid substituted with a hydroxyl group on the adjacent carbon. L-Lactic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Within humans, L-lactic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, L-lactic acid can be biosynthesized from pyruvic acid through the action of the enzyme L-lactate dehydrogenase. In addition, L-lactic acid can be converted into L-lactic acid through the action of the enzyme monocarboxylate transporter. In humans, L-lactic acid is involved in the metabolic disorder called the glutaminolysis and cancer pathway. L-Lactic acid is an acidic and odorless tasting compound. Outside of the human body, L-Lactic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within beers and milk (cow). L-Lactic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as cow milks, cow milks, cow milks, cow milks, and port wines. This could make L-lactic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. L-Lactic acid is a potentially toxic compound. An optically active form of lactic acid having (S)-configuration.
