trans-Glutaconic acid is an organic compound with formula HO2CCH=CHCH2CO2H. This dicarboxylic acid exists as a colorless solid and is related to the saturated chemical glutaric acid, HO2CC(CH2)3CO2H. Esters and salts of glutaconic acid are called glutaconates.
Glutaconate bound to coenzyme A, glutaconyl-CoA, is an intermediate in lysine metabolism.[1]
