Definition
Glutaconic acid, also known as Glutaconate or Glutaconic acid, (e)-isomer, is classified as a dicarboxylic acid or a Dicarboxylic acid derivative. Dicarboxylic acids are organic compounds containing exactly two carboxylic acid groups. Glutaconic acid is considered to be a soluble (in water) and a weak acidic compound. Glutaconic acid is a fatty acid lipid molecule. Glutaconic acid can be found in urine. Within a cell, Glutaconic acid is primarily located in the extracellular space and near the membrane. Glutaconic acid is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. trans-Glutaconic acid is an organic compound with formula HO2CCH=CHCH2CO2H. This dicarboxylic acid exists as a colorless solid and is related to the saturated chemical glutaric acid, HO2CC3CO2H. Esters and salts of glutaconic acid are called glutaconates.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dicarboxylic acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing exactly two carboxylic acid groups.
