WHAT DOES PYRUVATE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pyruvic acid

Pyruvic acid is an organic acid, has a carboxylic acid and a ketone functional group, and is the simplest of the alpha-keto acids. The carboxylate anion of pyruvic acid, its Brønsted–Lowry conjugate base, CH3COCOO−, is known as pyruvate, and is a key intersection in several metabolic pathways. Pyruvic acid can be made from glucose through glycolysis, converted back to carbohydrates via gluconeogenesis, or to fatty acids through acetyl-CoA. It can also be used to construct the amino acid alanine and be converted into ethanol. Pyruvic acid supplies energy to living cells through the citric acid cycle when oxygen is present, and alternatively ferments to produce lactic acid when oxygen is lacking.

Definition of pyruvate in the English dictionary

The definition of pyruvate in the dictionary is an ester or salt of pyruvic acid.
