Calcium 2-oxoglutarate powder

Calcium 2-oxoglutarate is an intermediate in the production of GTP or ATP in the Krebs cycle. It is a reversible inhibitor of tyrosinase (IC50: 15 mM).

Calcium 2-oxoglutarate is an intermediate in the production of ATP or GTP in the Krebs cycle. Calcium 2-oxoglutarate also acts as the major carbon skeleton for nitrogen-assimilatory reactions. Calcium 2-oxoglutarate is a reversible inhibitor of tyrosinase (IC₅₀=15 mM)

In Vitro: Calcium 2-oxoglutarate has other physiological capabilities including reduction of ammonia level formed in the lung and general ammonia detoxification, protective role against lipid peroxidation and neuroprotective effect against cyanide poisoning.

Calcium 2-oxoglutarate acts as precursor for the synthesis of amino acids and nucleotides.
