Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Xylulose
DescriptionD-Xylulose (CAS: 551-84-8) is a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms. D-Xylulose is converted from xylitol by the enzyme NAD+-linked xylitol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.9) in the glucuronate pathway, the most important xylitol-handling metabolic pathway in mammals. This activity has been described in human erythrocytes. Most likely, D-xylulose (as well as D-arabinose or D-ribulose) is a precursor of the pentiol D-arabitol, since pentitols are derived from their corresponding pentose phosphate precursors via pentoses. This pathway can play a role in inherited metabolic disorders underlying the accumulation of pentitols (e.g. ribose 5-phosphate isomerase deficiency and transaldolase deficiency). Although pentitols are present in all living organisms, knowledge concerning their metabolism is limited (PMID:15234337 , Mol Genet Metab. 2004 Jul;82(3):231-7.).
