Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Gulose
DescriptionAmylose, also known as hexose or MTX2 toxin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hexoses. These are monosaccharides in which the sugar unit is a is a six-carbon containing moeity. In humans, amylose is involved in the metabolic disorder called the sucrase-isomaltase deficiency pathway. Amylose is found, on average, in the highest concentration within taros (Colocasia esculenta) and rice (Oryza sativa). Amylose has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as alcoholic beverages, french plantains (Musa X paradisiaca), black-eyed peas (Vigna unguiculata ssp. unguiculata), domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica), and anatidaes (Anatidae). This could make amylose a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Amylose is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Amylose. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). D-gulose is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically D-Gulose is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
