Common Name2-Hydroxyglutarate
Description2-Hydroxyglutarate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as short-chain hydroxy acids and derivatives. These are hydroxy acids with an alkyl chain the contains less than 6 carbon atoms. 2-Hydroxyglutarate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 2-Hydroxyglutarate exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. 2-hydroxyglutarate can be biosynthesized from oxoglutaric acid through the action of the enzyme L-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial. In humans, 2-hydroxyglutarate is involved in the metabolic disorder called the oncogenic action of d-2-hydroxyglutarate in hydroxyglutaric aciduria. In cancer it is either produced by overexpression of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) or is produced in excess by gain-of-function mutations in the cytosolic and mitochondrial isoforms of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH). A deficiency in either of these two enzymes can lead to a disease known as 2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. 2-Hydroxyglutarate exists in 2 isomers: L-2-hydroxyglutarate acid and D-2-hydroxyglutarate. D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (caused by loss of D2HGDH or gain of function of IDH) is rare, with symptoms including cancer, macrocephaly, cardiomyopathy, mental retardation, hypotonia, and cortical blindness. 2-Hydroxyglutarate is a potentially toxic compound. 2-Hydroxyglutarate, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as deafness, onychodystrophy, osteodystrophy, mental retardation, and seizures syndrome, d, l-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, supragingival plaque, and colorectal cancer; 2-hydroxyglutarate has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder l-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. 2-Hydroxyglutarate has also been found to be a metabolite in Aspergillus (PMID: 6057807 ). 2-hydroxyglutarate is also the product of gain-of-function mutations in the cytosolic and mitochondrial isoforms of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH). In humans it is part of butanoate metabolic pathway and can be produced by phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH). Humans have to variants of this enzyme: 2-Hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase (D2HGDH) and L-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase (L2HGDH). 2-Hydroxyglutarate is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.
