Metabolite Identification
Common NameBeta-D-Glucose
DescriptionD-Glucose, also known as b-D-glucopyranose, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hexoses. These are monosaccharides in which the sugar unit is a is a six-carbon containing moeity. D-Glucose exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. D-Glucose, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as 3-hydroxyacyl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency, short-chain l-3-hydroxyacyl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency, and colorectal cancer; D-glucose has also been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including primary hypomagnesemia and 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on D-Glucose.

Enzymes

General function:
Carbohydrate transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Mutarotase converts alpha-aldose to the beta-anomer. It is active on D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-xylose, D-galactose, maltose and lactose (By similarity).
Gene Name:
GALM
Uniprot ID:
Q5EA79
Molecular weight:
37614.0
Reactions
Alpha-D-Glucose → Beta-D-Glucosedetails
General function:
Involved in ATP binding
Specific function:
Catalyzes the phosphorylation of various hexoses, such as D-glucose, D-glucosamine, D-fructose, D-mannose and 2-deoxy-D-glucose, to hexose 6-phosphate (D-glucose 6-phosphate, D-glucosamine 6-phosphate, D-fructose 6-phosphate, D-mannose 6-phosphate and 2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphate, respectively). Does not phosphorylate N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (By similarity). Mediates the initial step of glycolysis by catalyzing phosphorylation of D-glucose to D-glucose 6-phosphate (By similarity). Involved in innate immunity and inflammation by acting as a pattern recognition receptor for bacterial peptidoglycan. When released in the cytosol, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine component of bacterial peptidoglycan inhibits the hexokinase activity of HK1 and causes its dissociation from mitochondrial outer membrane, thereby activating the NLRP3 inflammasome (By similarity).
