Malic acid (GMP)

Malic acid (GMP) is Malic acid (HY-Y1311) in GMP grade. GMP-grade small molecules can be used as auxiliary reagents in cell therapy. Malic acid (Hydroxybutanedioic acid) is a dicarboxylic acid that occurs naturally in fruits like apples and pears with oral activities. Malic acid plays a role in many sour or tangy foods. Malic acid is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle[1][2].
