Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furancarboxaldehyde phosphate
Description4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furancarboxaldehyde phosphate is a phosphorylated carbohydrate derivative belonging to the class of furan derivatives. Its chemical structure features a furan ring substituted with a hydroxymethyl group and an aldehyde functionality, which is further modified by the addition of a phosphate group. This compound plays a role in metabolic pathways involving carbohydrate metabolism, particularly in the condensation reactions of glycolytic intermediates. Specifically, it is synthesized through the action of a recombinant enzyme derived from the MJ1099 gene, which catalyzes the condensation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (Ga-3P) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to produce 4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furancarboxaldehyde phosphate (4-HFC-P) (PMID:24977328 ). This reaction highlights its involvement in the interconversion of sugar phosphates, which is crucial for energy production and biosynthetic processes in various organisms.
