Infobox references

3-Fumarylpyruvic acid, or 3-fumarylpyruvate, is a dicarboxylic acid formed from the isomerisation of 3-maleylpyruvate by maleylpyruvate isomerase.[1] It is converted into fumaric and pyruvic acids by 3-fumarylpyruvate hydrolase.[2]

Biosynthesis

3-Fumarylpyruvic acid is an intermediate in the metabolism of the amino acid tyrosine in some organisms. At an earlier stage, in the presence of the enzyme gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase and oxygen, gentisic acid undergoes a ring-opening reaction to give 3-maleylpyruvic acid:[3] This is converted to its geometric isomer by the enzyme maleylpyruvate isomerase.[1]
