Metabolite Identification
Common Namecis-Aconitic acid
Descriptioncis-Aconitic acid, also known as cis-aconitate or acid, acontic, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tricarboxylic acids and derivatives. These are carboxylic acids containing exactly three carboxyl groups. cis-Aconitic acid exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. cis-Aconitic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
