| '''Pyruvic acid''', C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>4</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, is an alpha-keto monocarboxylic acid which occurs under physiological conditions mainly as the anion '''pyruvate<sup>-</sup>, P''', with ''p''K<sub>a</sub> = 2.5. Pyruvate is formed in glycolysis from phosphoenolpyruvate. In the cytosol, pyruvate is a substrate of [[lactate dehydrogenase]]. Pyruvate enters the mitochondrial matrix via a specific low ''K''<sub>m</sub>' H<sup>+</sup>/monocarboxylate cotransporter known as the [[pyruvate carrier]]. Similarly, the plasma membrane of many cell types has H<sup>+</sup>/monocarboxylate cotransporter activity and pyruvate can thus be added as a substrate to living cells. In the mt-matrix the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate is catalyzed by [[pyruvate dehydrogenase]] and yields [[acetyl-CoA]]. Pyruvate competitively reverses the inhibition of [[Complex IV | cytochrome ''c'' oxidase]] by [[cyanide]]. Pyruvate is an antioxidant reacting with [[hydrogen peroxide]].

| |
| :::: After addition of H<sub>2</sub>O the pH of the Pyruvate solution is about 6. This is acceptable without pH-adjustment, because the titrated volumes are small and reaction media are buffered.
