Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Glucuronic acid
DescriptionD-Glucuronic acid, also known as glcaa or D-glucuronate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glucuronic acid derivatives. Glucuronic acid derivatives are compounds containing a glucuronic acid moiety (or a derivative), which consists of a glucose moiety with the C6 carbon oxidized to a carboxylic acid. D-Glucuronic acid exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. D-Glucuronic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
