S4hydroxyglutarate
S4-hydroxyglutarate (S4HG) is an organic compound classified as a hydroxyglutarate, a derivative of glutaric acid with a hydroxyl group attached to the fourth carbon. It is a stereoisomer of 4-hydroxyglutarate, differing in the spatial arrangement of its atoms. The "S" designation indicates its specific configuration, following the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog priority rules, which categorizes chiral molecules based on their three-dimensional structure.
S4-hydroxyglutarate is primarily studied in the context of metabolic disorders and neurological research. It is a
In biochemical research, S4-hydroxyglutarate is often examined for its role in cellular signaling and its potential
S4-hydroxyglutarate is typically analyzed using mass spectrometry techniques, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid
