| biological activity | L-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid disodium ((S)-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid disodium, L-2-Hydroxyglutarate disodium, LGA, L-2HG) is an epigenetic modifier and tumor metabolite presumed in kidney cancer, which inhibits histone demethylases and thus promotes histone methylation. L-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid disodium is also an inhibitor of mitochondrial creatine kinase (Mi-CK), with corresponding Km and Ki values of 2.52 mM and 11.13 mM respectively. |
