It naturally forms pyruvate over time, especially when aided by its namesake decarboxylase.
Chin P'ing Mei anytime)  Journet et al found that, in leaf mitochondria, the addition of this compound helps inhibit oxygen consumption during amino acid oxidation. The reaction of the 2-pyrone in macrophomic acid synthesis sees this compound decarboxylated and coordinated to a magnesium ion before either a Michael addition or a Diels-Alder sequence. An acyltransferase forms 2-methylcitrate from propanoyl- CoA and from this compound. A carboxykinase in the mesophyll forms this compound from carbon dioxide and PEP. In the urea cycle, alpha-ketoglutarate and aspartate react with a transaminase to give glutamate and this compound. It naturally forms pyruvate over time, especially when aided by its namesake decarboxylase. FTP, identify this four-carbon dicarboxylic acid, which is formed in the oxidation of malate and which, in the first step of the Krebs cycle, reacts with acetyl-CoA to form citrate.
