Acidum pyruvicum

Acidum pyruvicum (CH3COCOOH) est compositum organicum et ketoacidum. Basis coniugata est pyruvatum (CH3COCOO-) et pars plurium itinerum metabolicorum intracellularium:
 In glycolysi glucosum in pyruvatum convertitur.
 In gluconeogenesi pyruvatum in hydrata carbonii vel, per acetylo CoA, in acida adipata transvertitur.
 Pyruvatum etiam aminoacidum alaninum generando utile est.
 In fermentatione lactica ex pyruvato ethanol vel lactatum oriuntur.

 Natura chemica 
Nomen chemicum (IUPAC) est acidum 2-oxopropanoïcum.
