Keto acids (or oxoacids) are organic compounds that contain two functional groups, a carboxylic acid group, and a ketone group. The alpha-keto acids are especially important in biology as they are involved in the Krebs citric acid cycle and in glycolysis. In several cases, the keto group is hydrated.
