Metabolite Identification
Common Name5-deoxy-D-glucuronic acid
Description5-deoxy-D-glucuronic acid is a carbohydrate metabolite belonging to the class of uronic acids. Its chemical structure features a six-carbon backbone similar to D-glucuronic acid, but with a hydroxyl group replaced by a hydrogen atom at the 5-position, resulting in a unique configuration. This compound is involved in various biochemical pathways, particularly in the metabolism of carbohydrates. For instance, it is produced during the hydrolysis of 3D-(3,5/4)-trihydroxycyclohexane-1,2-dione, a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme IolD (PMID:18310071 ). Additionally, 5-deoxy-D-glucuronic acid undergoes isomerization by the enzyme IolB, leading to the formation of 2-deoxy-5-keto-D-gluconic acid (PMID:18310071 ). These enzymatic reactions highlight its role in the degradation and transformation of complex carbohydrates, contributing to the broader understanding of metabolic pathways in organisms.
