| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
2-Methylcitrate is a component of the 2-methylcitric acid (2-MCA) cycle th at utilizes propionate as a source of carbon and energy in bacteria. Trisodium 2-methylcitrate may be used to study this pathway | [Biological Activity]
Trisodium (2RS,3RS)-2-methylcitrate is an endogenous metabolite of the 2-methylcitric acid cycle. It accumulates in methylmalonic acidemia and malonic acidemia and can serve as a metabolic marker. And it significantly inhibits ADP-stimulated and uncoupled respiration in glutamate-supported mitochondria. | [in vitro]
Trisodium (2RS,3RS)-2-methylcitrate impairs glutamate metabolism and induces permeability transition in brain mitochondria.
2-Methylcitric acid trisodium inhibits glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activity at concentrations as low as 0.5 mM.
2-Methylcitric acid trisodium (1 mM, 3 mM; 150 seconds) provokes a significant decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and induced swelling in Ca 2+ -loaded mitochondria supported by different substrates.
It behaves as a potent inhibitor of glutamate oxidation by inhibiting glutamate dehydrogenase activity and as a permeability transition inducer, disturbing mitochondrial energy homeostasis.
It trisodium does not significantly impair mitochondrial glutamate transport.
2-Methylcitric acid trisodium does not significantly impair glutamate mitochondrial transport in liver mitochondria. | [target]
