It is a key intermediate molecule in the citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle, which is a central component of cellular respiration. Ketoglutarate is produced in the mitochondria of cells and is involved in energy production, amino acid metabolism, and other essential biochemical pathways.
