Based on the SMILES representation O=C([O-])C(O)CO, the molecule can be described as:
The molecule is a hydroxy monocarboxylic acid anion that is the conjugate base of glyceric acid, obtained by deprotonation of the carboxy group. It has a role as a human metabolite and a fundamental metabolite. It is a member of glycerates and a hydroxy monocarboxylic acid anion. It derives from a propionate. It is a conjugate base of a glyceric acid.
