Metabolite Identification
Common NameDihydroxyacetone phosphate
DescriptionDihydroxyacetone phosphate, also known as Dihydroxyacetone phosphate or Dihydroxyacetone phosphate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monosaccharide phosphates. These are monosaccharides comprising a phosphated group linked to the carbohydrate unit. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Dihydroxyacetone phosphate exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Ubiquinol 8 and dihydroxyacetone phosphate can be biosynthesized from coenzyme Q10 and glycerol 3-phosphate through the action of the enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial. In addition, Dihydroxyacetone phosphate can be converted into glycerol 3-phosphate through its interaction with the enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase [nad(+)], cytoplasmic. In cattle, dihydroxyacetone phosphate is involved in the metabolic pathway called the mitochondrial electron transport chain pathway. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate is a potentially toxic compound.
