QUICK LINKS
D-Xylulose, a natural five-carbon sugar found in plants, fungi, and bacteria, serves as an inducer of ATP catabolism. It plays a vital role as a key intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway, facilitating the biosynthesis of essential molecules like nucleotides, amino acids, and lipids. Additionally, D-xylulose finds application as a substrate in antibiotic production. As a valuable research tool, D-xylulose enables the study of carbohydrate metabolism and the regulation of gene expression. It aids in understanding the involvement of enzymes in metabolism and has been instrumental in investigating its role in antibiotic synthesis and the biosynthesis of molecules. By functioning as a substrate in the pentose phosphate pathway, D-xylulose contributes significantly to the biosynthesis of various vital molecules, including nucleotides, amino acids, lipids, and the production of antibiotics.
