+**Pyruvate** is a crucial alpha-keto acid, serving as a pivotal intermediate in [metabolism](/wiki/metabolism). This organic molecule is the end product of [glycolysis](/wiki/glycolysis), linking the breakdown of [glucose](/wiki/glucose) to further energy production. It can be transformed into [acetyl-CoA](/wiki/acetyl-coa) to fuel the Krebs cycle or converted to [lactate](/wiki/lactate) during anaerobic conditions.
