,{[proInfo.pro_purity]}

2-Ketoglutaric acid, also known as alpha-ketoglutarate and AKG, is a key molecule in the TCA cycle, playing a fundamental role in determining the overall rate of this important metabolic process. In the TCA cycle, AKG is decarboxylated to succinyl-CoA and carbon dioxide by AKG dehydrogenase, which functions as a key control point of the TCA cycle.

Synonyms: Alpha-Ketoglutaric acid; α-Ketoglutaric Acid; NSC 17391

Isoform Comparison

Biological Activity

In Vitro:

Cell Line
Concentration Treated Time Description References
Liver slices 100 µM 6 hours To investigate the direct effects of AKG on hepatic gluconeogenesis, results showed that AKG decreased the protein expression and activities of PEPCK, G6Pase, and FBP in PA-treated liver slices. Sci Adv. 2022 May 6;8(18):eabn2879.
Primary hepatocytes 100 µM 6 hours To investigate the direct effects of AKG on hepatic gluconeogenesis, results showed that AKG significantly decreased HGP and the protein expression and activities of PEPCK, G6Pase, and FBP in PA-treated primary hepatocytes. Sci Adv. 2022 May 6;8(18):eabn2879.
Sk-Mel-28 human melanoma cells 200 µM Α-KG promoted PD-L1 and TET2/3 protein expression Cell Death Dis. 2023 Feb 28;14(2):170.
Human whole blood cells 0.42 mg/mL, 1.8 mg/mL, 6 mg/mL ΑKG alone increased Hb-O2 affinity but to a lesser extent than 5-HMF. Linear regression showed dose-dependent effects (R²=0.887; p<0.001). When combined with 5-HMF, it better preserved the sigmoidal ODC shape at low/medium doses. Nutrients. 2021 Sep 29;13(10):3448.

C57BL/6 mice B16F10 or Yumm1.7 melanoma-bearing model Intraperitoneal injection 100 mg/kg Once daily for 9-11 days Α-KG combined with anti-PD1 mAb significantly suppressed melanoma growth, prolonged survival, and increased PD-L1 expression and CD8+/CD4+ T cell ratio in tumors Cell Death Dis. 2023 Feb 28;14(2):170.
C57BL/6 mice Diet-induced obesity (DIO) Mice model Oral 2% 11 weeks To investigate the long-term effects of AKG on glucose homeostasis, results showed that AKG significantly decreased blood glucose and HbA1c and increased insulin without changing glucagon in the blood of HFD-fed mice, improving insulin sensitivity and hepatic gluconeogenesis.

Dissolving Methods
Please choose the appropriate dissolution scheme according to your animal administration guide.For the following dissolution schemes, clear stock solution should be prepared according to in vitro experiments, and then cosolvent should be added in turn:

in order to ensure the reliability of the experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be properly preserved according to the storage conditions; The working fluid for in vivo experiment is recommended to be prepared now and used on the same day;

The percentage shown in front of the following solvent refers to the volume ratio of the solvent in the final solution; If precipitation or precipitation occurs in the preparation process, it can be assisted by heating and/or ultrasound.
Protocol 1
Protocol 2
The prepared working fluid is recommended to be prepared now and used up as soon as possible in a short period of time. The percentage shown in front of the following solvent refers to the volume ratio of the solvent in the final solution; If precipitation or precipitation occurs in the preparation process, it can be assisted by heating and/or ultrasound.
