Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Ribitol 5-phosphate
DescriptionD-Ribitol 5-phosphate is a polyol phosphate belonging to the class of carbohydrates. Its chemical structure features a ribitol backbone with a phosphate group attached at the 5-position, which is crucial for its role in various biochemical pathways. D-Ribitol 5-phosphate participates in the pentose phosphate pathway, contributing to nucleotide synthesis and cellular metabolism. It is also involved in the biosynthesis of certain coenzymes and secondary metabolites. The compound's levels can be influenced by dietary changes, as indicated by a study where the CCM diet increased the contents of D-ribitol 5-phosphate among other metabolites (PMID:35196585 ). This suggests its potential involvement in metabolic adaptations in response to nutritional shifts, reflecting its significance in cellular energy and biosynthetic processes.
