Task: Please create a description for a molecule based on its representation.
Molecule SMILES: CC(=O)C(C)(O)C(=O)O
Constraint: Answer the question with complete sentences.
Result: The molecule is a derivative of butyric acid having methyl, hydroxy and oxo substituents at the 2-, 2- and 3-positions respectively. It has a role as a mouse metabolite. It is a 3-oxo monocarboxylic acid, a 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid and a tertiary alpha-hydroxy ketone. It derives from a butyric acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 2-acetyllactate.
