| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
D-Xylulose is a ketopentose, a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms and a ketone functional group.1 It is converted from xylitol in the glucoronate-xylulose pathway. D-Xylulokinase catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of D-xylulose to produce xylulose 5-phosphate, which is linked to the pentose-phosphate pathway.2 | [Chemical Properties]
Clear colorless liquid | [Uses]
An inducer of ATP catabolism | [Uses]
D-Xylulose can be used through fermentation to produce ethanol. | [Definition]
ChEBI: D-xylulose is the D-enantiomer of xylulose. It has a role as a human metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is an enantiomer of a L-xylulose. |
