Glucose
D-Galactose (CAS: 59-23-4) is an aldohexose that occurs naturally in the D-form in lactose, cerebrosides, gangliosides, and mucoproteins. D-Galactose is an energy-providing nutrient and also a necessary basic substrate for the biosynthesis of many macromolecules in the body. Metabolic pathways for D-galactose are important not only for the provision of these pathways but also for the prevention of D-galactose metabolite accumulation. The main source of D-galactose is lactose in the milk of mammals, but it can also be found in some fruits and vegetables. Utilization of D-galactose in all living cells is initiated by the phosphorylation of the hexose by the enzyme galactokinase (E.C. 2.7.1.6) (GALK) to form D-galactose-1-phosphate. In the presence of D-galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (E.C. 2.7.7.12) (GALT) D-galactose-1-phosphate is exchanged with glucose-1-phosphate in UDP-glucose to form UDP-galactose. Glucose-1-phosphate will then enter the glycolytic pathway for energy production. Deficiency of the enzyme GALT in galactosemic patients leads to the accumulation of D-galactose-1-phosphate. Classic galactosemia, a term that denotes the presence of D-galactose in the blood, is the rare inborn error of D-galactose metabolism, diagnosed by the deficiency of the second enzyme of the D-galactose assimilation pathway, GALT, which, in turn, is caused by mutations at the GALT gene (PMID: 15256214, 11020650, 10408771). Galactose in the urine is a biomarker for the consumption of milk. Alpha-D-Pyranose-form of the compound Galactose [CCD]. alpha-D-Galactose is found in many foods, some of which are kelp, fig, spelt, and rape. Galactose. CAS Common Chemistry.

L-Lyxose
Aldehydo-L-lyxose is an L-lyxose in open-chain aldehyde form. It is an enantiomer of an aldehydo-D-lyxose. L-Lyxose is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (strain K12, MG1655). L-Lyxose is a rare pentose sugar, which means it is a five-carbon sugar. It is classified as an aldopentose due to the presence of an aldehyde group on its first carbon. The “L” in L-Lyxose indicates its stereochemistry, specifically referring to the orientation of hydroxyl groups around the third and fourth carbons in the sugar ring. In L-Lyxose, the hydroxyl group on the third carbon is on the left side, and the one on the fourth carbon is on the right side, when the molecule is drawn in a standard Fischer projection. L-Lyxose is not commonly found in nature and does not play a significant role in biological systems like more common sugars such as glucose or fructose. However, it is of interest in the field of carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry for its unique properties and potential applications in research and industry. It can be synthesized in the laboratory and is sometimes used in the study of carbohydrate metabolism and in the development of new biotechnological processes. L-Lyxose. CAS Common Chemistry.
