The chemical reactions and pathways involving organic acids, any acidic compound containing carbon in covalent linkage. [ISBN:0198506732]
Organic acid metabolism encompasses a diverse array of biochemical reactions that involve the synthesis, breakdown, and interconversion of organic acids. These acids, characterized by the presence of carboxyl groups (-COOH), play critical roles in various cellular processes, including energy production, biosynthesis, and signaling. The metabolic pathways involved in organic acid metabolism are highly interconnected and often share common intermediates.
One key aspect of organic acid metabolism is the breakdown of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins to generate acetyl-CoA, a central metabolic intermediate. Acetyl-CoA can then enter the citric acid cycle, a series of reactions that produce ATP, the primary energy currency of cells. Organic acids like citrate, isocitrate, and α-ketoglutarate are key intermediates in the citric acid cycle.
Furthermore, organic acids are essential building blocks for biosynthesis. For example, oxaloacetate, a four-carbon organic acid, is a precursor for the synthesis of amino acids, glucose, and other important molecules.
Another crucial aspect of organic acid metabolism is the detoxification of harmful substances. Organic acids can act as substrates for detoxification pathways, such as the glutathione conjugation pathway, which converts harmful compounds into less toxic forms.
Finally, organic acids play a role in cellular signaling. For instance, lactate, a three-carbon organic acid, is produced during anaerobic respiration and can act as a signaling molecule to regulate gene expression and cell metabolism.
In summary, organic acid metabolism is a complex and essential process that encompasses a wide range of biochemical reactions. These reactions play crucial roles in energy production, biosynthesis, detoxification, and cellular signaling, ensuring the proper functioning of cells and organisms.'
