Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-hexose 6-phosphate
DescriptionD-hexose 6-phosphate is a member of the phosphate esters chemical class, specifically a phosphorylated sugar derivative. Its chemical structure features a hexose sugar backbone, typically glucose or mannose, with a phosphate group attached at the sixth carbon position. This compound plays a crucial role in various metabolic pathways, including glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway, where it serves as an intermediate in the interconversion of different hexose phosphates. For instance, the reversible conversion between D-mannose 6-phosphate and D-fructose 6-phosphate, catalyzed by yeast phosphomannoisomerase, highlights its involvement in carbohydrate metabolism. This transformation has been investigated using advanced techniques such as phase-sensitive 2D 13C-(1H) EXSY NMR spectroscopy, which emphasizes the compound's significance in metabolic flux and enzyme kinetics (PMID:1448058 ). D-hexose 6-phosphate thus acts as a pivotal metabolite, linking various pathways that contribute to cellular energy production and biosynthetic processes.
