Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Erythrose 4-phosphate
DescriptionD-Erythrose 4-phosphate, also known as D-erythrose-4-p or 4-O-phosphono-D-erythrose, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monosaccharide phosphates. These are monosaccharides comprising a phosphated group linked to the carbohydrate unit. D-Erythrose 4-phosphate is a drug. D-Erythrose 4-phosphate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). D-Erythrose 4-phosphate exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, D-erythrose 4-phosphate participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, D-erythrose 4-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate can be converted into D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and D-sedoheptulose 7-phosphate through its interaction with the enzyme transaldolase. In addition, D-erythrose 4-phosphate and xylulose 5-phosphate can be converted into fructose 6-phosphate and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate through its interaction with the enzyme transketolase. In humans, D-erythrose 4-phosphate is involved in the metabolic disorder called the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency pathway. Outside of the human body, D-erythrose 4-phosphate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as rapes, pomegranates, evening primroses, soursops, and amaranths. This could make D-erythrose 4-phosphate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
