Description

D-Sedoheptulose is a sugar that is a member of the pentoses. It has been shown to have a ph optimum of 4.5 and oxidizing potential of -0.18 V. It is also an important intermediate in carbohydrate metabolism and can be used as an energy source by cells. D-Sedoheptulose plays a role in transcriptional regulation and cellular physiology, as well as being involved in the production of acyl chains and disulfide bonds for proteins. D-Sedoheptulose has also been found to have synergic effects with other sugars such as glucose, sucrose, or fructose, which may be due to its ability to act as an inducer of reductive enzymes such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD).
