Chemical Information
Name3-Phosphoglyceric acid
Description3-Phosphoglyceric acid, also known as glycerate 3-phosphate or 3-PG, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar acids and derivatives. Sugar acids and derivatives are compounds containing a saccharide unit which bears a carboxylic acid group. 3-Phosphoglyceric acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3-Phosphoglyceric acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, 3-phosphoglyceric acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 3-phosphoglyceric acid can be converted into glyceric acid 1,3-biphosphate; which is catalyzed by the enzyme pantothenate kinase 1. In addition, 3-phosphoglyceric acid can be converted into 2-phospho-D-glyceric acid through the action of the enzyme phosphoglycerate mutase 2. In humans, 3-phosphoglyceric acid is involved in the metabolic disorder called the glycogen storage disease type 1A (gsd1a) or von gierke disease pathway. Outside of the human body, 3-Phosphoglyceric acid has been detected, but not quantified in, milk (cow). This could make 3-phosphoglyceric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
