L-GLUCOSE Structural

What is L-GLUCOSE?

Description

L-(−)-Glucose is an enantiomer of the more common D-glucose. L-Glucose is not bioavailable to cells as an energy source because it cannot be phosphorylated by hexokinase. However, certain L-glucose-utilizing bacteria that contain NAD+-dependent L-glucose dehydrogenases capable of oxidizing L-glucose have been identified.

Chemical properties

white powder

The Uses of L-GLUCOSE

L-Glucose is the enantiomer of D-Glucose (G595000), a naturally occurring carbohydrate used in an abundance of cellular processes. L-Glucose is a synthetic sugar used in the formation of L-Glucose Pen taacetate (G596510), a potential therapeutic agent regarding type II diabetes. In addition, L-glucose can be used as a colon cleansing agent for before a colonoscopy procedure.
