Cis-Aconitic Acid Analysis Service
Cis-Aconitic acid is a vital organic acid and a key intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. It is formed from citric acid through the action of aconitase and is subsequently converted into isocitric acid. This compound plays a crucial role in energy metabolism, cellular respiration, and metabolic regulation. Abnormal levels of cis-aconitic acid are linked to various metabolic diseases, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis. Thus, accurate detection and quantification of cis-aconitic acid are essential for understanding cellular metabolic states, diagnosing diseases, and assessing health.
Changes in cis-aconitic acid levels can indicate alterations in the TCA cycle, such as energy metabolism disorders and oxidative stress. Research has shown that the accumulation of cis-aconitic acid may be associated with genetic and metabolic diseases, including mitochondrial disorders and diabetes. Early diagnosis and monitoring of these conditions are vital for effective patient management and treatment. Additionally, cis-aconitic acid is significant in drug metabolism research and environmental science, such as evaluating the impact of drugs on metabolic pathways and assessing pollution levels in environmental samples. Therefore, precise measurement and quantification of cis-aconitic acid are invaluable for clinical research, environmental monitoring, and drug development.
