6-Deoxy-L-glucitol

CAS: 86334-50-1

6-Deoxy-L-glucitol is a sugar alcohol that is found in the body and has been used as a substitute for sucrose. 6-Deoxy-L-glucitol is metabolized by deamination and reduction to produce lactobionic acid. This reaction can be catalyzed by either an enzyme or by chemical means. 6-Deoxy-L-glucitol can also be partially reduced to form 6-phospho--erythritol, which can be further reduced to form erythritol. Muscle cells contain hexokinases and phosphofructokinase, which are required for the final step in glucose metabolism. These enzymes are important in the regulation of blood sugar levels and energy production. In addition, these enzymes play a role in the metabolism of other sugars such as fructose and galactose.
