Description Glyoxylic acid, also known as alpha-ketoacetic acid or glyoxylate, is a member of the class of compounds known as carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids are compounds containing a carboxylic acid group with the formula -C(=O)OH. Glyoxylic acid is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Glyoxylic acid can be found in a number of food items such as european chestnut, cowpea, wheat, and common thyme, which makes glyoxylic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Glyoxylic acid can be found primarily in blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), feces, and urine, as well as throughout all human tissues. Glyoxylic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, glyoxylic acid is involved in a couple of metabolic pathways, which include alanine metabolism and glycine and serine metabolism. Glyoxylic acid is also involved in several metabolic disorders, some of which include lactic acidemia, pyruvate carboxylase deficiency, 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase deficiency, and hyperglycinemia, non-ketotic. Moreover, glyoxylic acid is found to be associated with transurethral resection of the prostate and primary hyperoxaluria I. Glyoxylic acid or oxoacetic acid is an organic compound. Together with acetic acid, glycolic acid, and oxalic acid, glyoxylic acid is one of the C2 carboxylic acids. It is a colourless solid that occurs naturally and is useful industrially .
