2- hydroxyglutaric acid ( α - hydroxyglutaric acid ) is a chemical compound selected from the group of hydroxy carboxylic acids and is a derivative of glutaric acid.

You can ( IDH ) are converted to α -ketoglutaric acid by the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase. Hereditary disorders of this enzyme complex leads to a disease which is known as glutaric aciduria. Elevated levels of 2- hydroxyglutarate be associated with the emergence of astrocytomas.
