Metabolite Identification
Common NameGluconolactone
DescriptionGluconolactone, also known as GDL (gluconate) or gluconolactone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gluconolactones. These are polyhydroxy acids containing a gluconolactone molecule, which is characterized by a tetrahydropyran substituted by three hydroxyl groups, one ketone group, and one hydroxymethyl group. Gluconolactone exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Gluconolactone exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Gluconolactone participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Gluconolactone and nadph can be biosynthesized from Beta-D-glucose 6-phosphate and nadp through the action of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase. In addition, Gluconolactone and water can be converted into 6-phosphogluconic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme 6-phosphogluconolactonase. In cattle, gluconolactone is involved in the metabolic pathway called the pentose phosphate pathway.
