Informations sur le produit

• Nom: D-Xylulose 5-phosphate sodium
• Marque: Biosynth
• Description: D-Xylulose 5-phosphate sodium is a phosphorylated sugar derivative, which is a crucial intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway, a metabolic pathway parallel to glycolysis. It is naturally sourced from biochemical processes within organisms where it plays a pivotal role in carbohydrate metabolism.The mode of action involves its function as a substrate in the non-oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway, where it facilitates the interconversion of sugars necessary for nucleotide and amino acid biosynthesis. This intermediary step is vital for the production of ribose-5-phosphate and NADPH, which are essential for anabolic reactions and antioxidant defense mechanisms.D-Xylulose 5-phosphate sodium is predominantly used in biochemical research to study metabolic pathways. It helps researchers investigate cellular processes, understand disease mechanisms where metabolism is disrupted, and explore metabolic engineering applications. By examining its role and transformations, scientists gain insights into energy production, redox balance, and cellular growth, providing foundational knowledge crucial for the development of therapies targeting metabolic disorders and cancer.
