CAS 28905-12-6

:

β-D-Glucose

Description:
β-D-Glucose, with the CAS number 28905-12-6, is a monosaccharide and an important carbohydrate in biology. It is an aldohexose, meaning it contains six carbon atoms and an aldehyde functional group. In its β-anomeric form, the hydroxyl group on the first carbon is oriented upwards in the Haworth projection, which is significant for its biological activity. β-D-Glucose is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water, reflecting its polar nature due to multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups. It plays a crucial role in energy metabolism, serving as a primary energy source for cells and a building block for polysaccharides like cellulose and glycogen. In addition to its role in metabolism, β-D-Glucose is involved in various biochemical pathways, including glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway. Its sweetness and solubility make it a common ingredient in food products and a key player in the field of biochemistry and nutrition.
