D-xylulose 5-phosphate sodium salt

Description:

D-xylulose 5-phosphate sodium salt is a phosphorylated sugar derivative that plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism, particularly in the pentose phosphate pathway. It is a five-carbon sugar phosphate, which is an intermediate in the synthesis of nucleotides and nucleic acids. The sodium salt form enhances its solubility in aqueous solutions, making it more accessible for biochemical applications. This compound is typically a white to off-white powder and is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. D-xylulose 5-phosphate is involved in various enzymatic reactions and is important for cellular processes, including the regulation of metabolic pathways. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by pH and temperature, which are critical factors to consider in laboratory settings. As a biochemical reagent, it is often used in research related to metabolism, enzymology, and cell biology. Proper handling and storage conditions are essential to maintain its integrity and functionality in experimental applications.
