| Description: | L-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid disodium ((S)-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid disodium, L-2-Hydroxyglutarate disodium, LGA, L-2HG) is an epigenetic modifier and a putative oncometabolite in kidney cancer that inhibits histone demethylases and hence promotes histone methylation. L-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid disodium is also an inhibitor of mitochondrial creatine kinase (Mi-CK) with Km and Ki of 2.52 mM and 11.13 mM, respectively. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
