Metabolite Identification
Common NameXylitol
DescriptionXylitol, also known as xylisorb or meso-xylitol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar alcohols. These are hydrogenated forms of carbohydrate in which the carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group. Xylitol exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. Xylitol has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as lemon verbenas (Aloysia triphylla), root vegetables, lowbush blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium), mangos (Mangifera indica), and rosemaries (Rosmarinus officinalis). This could make xylitol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Xylitol is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Xylitol.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of several pentoses, tetroses, trioses, alpha-dicarbonyl compounds and L-xylulose. Participates in the uronate cycle of glucose metabolism. May play a role in the water absorption and cellular osmoregulation in the proximal renal tubules by producing xylitol, an osmolyte, thereby preventing osmolytic stress from occurring in the renal tubules.
