Pyruvic-13C3 acid, sodium salt, is a stable isotopic form of pyruvic acid where three carbon atoms are replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is typically used in metabolic studies and tracer experiments due to its ability to provide insights into metabolic pathways and carbon flux in biological systems. As a sodium salt, it is soluble in water, making it suitable for various biochemical applications. The presence of the carbon-13 isotope allows researchers to track the compound's behavior in metabolic processes using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Pyruvic acid itself is a key intermediate in several metabolic pathways, including glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, and its sodium salt form is often utilized in laboratory settings for its stability and ease of handling. Overall, pyruvic-13C3 acid, sodium salt serves as a valuable tool in both research and clinical settings for studying metabolic dynamics.

Applications Pyruvic Acid-13C3 is labelled Pyruvic acid (P998900).Pyruvic acid is an Intermediate in sugar metabolism and in enzymatic carbohydrate degradation (alcoholic fermentation) where it is converted to acetaldehyde and CO2 by carboxylase. In muscle, Pyruvic acid (derived from glycogen) is reduced to lactic acid during exertion, which is reoxidized and partially retransformed to glycogen during rest. The liver can convert Pyruvic acid to alanine by amination.
