L-xylulose is a ketone containing monosaccharide. L-xylulose, a member of the pentose class of organic compounds, is a type of xylulose with various metabolic roles in humans, Escherichia coli, and mice. It is the enantiomer of D-xylulose. As a pentose, L-xylulose is a monosaccharide composed of five carbon atoms. It exhibits solubility in water and is a very weakly acidic compound, as determined by its pKa value.
