Definition
3-Sulfopyruvic acid is the product of the transamination of cysteinesulfonate in a reaction catalyzed by aspartate aminotransferase. 3-sulfopyruvic acid is stable and is reduced by malate dehydrogenase to beta-sulfolactate, which is excreted in the urine. Cysteinesulfonate, 3-sulfopyruvic acid, and beta-sulfolactate are reversibly interconverted in vivo. (PMID: 3346220 ).
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-keto acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing an aldehyde substituted with a keto group on the adjacent carbon.
