Phosphoglycolic Acid is used in studies pertaining to biological and metabolic processes. It can be used in the study of human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (Ape) and its role in double strand break repair. It also has been seen to complex with cPEPCK (cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase) during the study of its inhibition by various substrate analogues.
ChEBI: 2-phosphoglycolic acid is the O-phospho derivative of glycolic acid. It has a role as an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is functionally related to a glycolic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 2-phosphonatoglycolate(3-) and a 2-phosphoglycolate.
