DescriptionHomoisocitric acid, also known as homoisocitrate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tricarboxylic acids and derivatives. These are carboxylic acids containing exactly three carboxyl groups. Homoisocitric acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Homoisocitric acid exists in both E. coli (prokaryote) and yeast (eukaryote).
