| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
3-Mercaptopicolinic acid is an inhibitor of gluconeogenesis. In perfused rat livers, gluconeogenesis was inhibited when lactate, pyruvate, or alanine served as substrate, but not with fructose, suggesting phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase as the site of inhibition. | [Chemical Properties]
Light Yellow Solid | [Uses]
A potent inhibitor of gluconeogenesis. | [storage]
