Description

Glyceraldehyde is a monosaccharide that is an important intermediate in the glycolytic pathway. It is also classified as a hydroxyl group donor and has been shown to have cytotoxic effects on mammalian cells. Glyceraldehyde has been implicated in many biological processes, including fatty acid synthesis and dinucleotide phosphate synthesis. This molecule has been shown to bind to proteins through its hydroxyl groups, which are found on its carbonyl carbon atoms. The enzyme cytosolic protein kinase (PK) has been shown to phosphorylate glyceraldehyde, which may be involved in transcriptional regulation. In addition, glyceraldehyde may be involved in human serum glucose levels and plant metabolism.
