Sodium pyruvate is the most common pyruvate, also known as sodium pyroglucose and sodium 2-carbonyl propionate. Its molecular formula is C3H3NaO3 and its molecular weight is 110.04. Sodium pyruvate is an intermediate product of glycolysis. It can enter and exit cells directly. It is an essential nutrient for cell metabolism. In the absence of glucose, it can be used as an energy source for cells and is one of the commonly used additives for cell culture. Although cells can produce sodium pyruvate themselves, some cells need to add sodium pyruvate when cultured in vitro. A certain amount of sodium pyruvate can also be added when cloning and reducing serum concentration. At the same time, sodium pyruvate can also help reduce the phototoxic effect caused by fluorescent substances.
