- α-KetoglutarateTCA cycle intermediate; also used in amino acid metabolism (e.g., transamination reactions). (CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY LAQs & SAQs)
- Can convert to aspartate or malate, playing a key role in amino acid metabolism and the malate-aspartate shuttle. (Medical Biochemistry II (MBMB 2200) -2)
