DL-4-Hydroxy-2-ketoglutarate serves as a substrate for the enzymes GOT (glutamic oxalacetic aminotransferase) and 2-keto-4-hydroxyglutarate aldolase, facilitating the reversible breakdown of 2-keto-4-hydroxyglutarate into pyruvate and glyoxylate; it has also found applications in mass spectrometry for the swift analysis of negatively charged, water-soluble cellular metabolites.
