Erythrose
Erythrose is a tetrose saccharide with the chemical formula C4H8O4. It has one aldehyde group, and is thus part of the aldose family. The natural isomer is D-erythrose. It is a member of the class of compounds known as pentoses. Pentoses are monosaccharides in which the carbohydrate moiety contains five carbon atoms. Erythrose is very soluble (in water). Erythrose can be found in blood, as well as in human cartilage tissue. Within the cell, erythrose is primarily located in the cytoplasm (predicted from logP). Erythrose exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Erythrose is found to be associated with schizophrenia. Erythrose was first isolated in 1849 from rhubarb by the French pharmacist Louis Feux Joseph Garot (1798-1869) and was named as such because of its red hue in the presence of alkali metals. D-erythrose is a tetrose carbohydrate with chemical formula C4H8O4. It has one aldehyde group and so is part of the aldose family. It is a syrupy liquid at room temperature.
