Metabolite Identification
Common Namealpha-D-Glucose
DescriptionAlpha-D-Glucose is a primary source of energy for living organisms. It is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and other parts of plants in its free state. Alpha-D-Glucose is an intermediate in glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway where it is converted to beta-D-glucose via galactose-1-epimerase (mutarotase) (EC:5.1.3.3). It is also involved in several other metabolic pathways: fructose and mannose metabolism, galactose metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism and amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism.
