Sodium Pyruvate is a key intermediate in the ATP production within the cell and is sometimes added to cell culture media as an additional source of energy. Additional pyruvate may help cells deficient in one of the enzymes involved in glucose metabolism, and may kick-start cells in the citric acid cycle, thus supporting growth of low density cells. Concentration in standard media is 1 mM; special media like Leibovitz’s medium are supplemented with up to 5 mM pyruvate.
