alphadglucose

alpha-D-glucose (α-Dextrose) is a primary source of energy for living organisms. It is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and other parts of plants in its free state. It is used therapeutically in fluid and nutrient replacement.

Uridine 5′-diphosphoglucose disodium salt (UDP-glucose) is a natural product and a P2Y14 receptor agonist (EC50 = 0.35 μM) with endogenous activity and selectivity. It is used for studying mechanisms related to cardiac inflammation following myocardial infarction/reperfusion injury.

α-D-Glucose-1,6-bisphosphate is abis-phosphorylated derivative of α-D-glucose that has roles in carbohydrate metabolism.1It is the product of the reaction of glucose-1- or 6-phosphate with glucose-1,6-bisphosphate synthase (PGM2LI) in the conversion of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate.2It is also a cofactor for the bacterial enzyme phosphopentomutase.3,4α-D-Glucose-1,6-bisphosphate has been used in the study of carbohydrate metabolism. 1.Beitner, R.Regulation of carbohydrate metabolism by glucose 1,6-bisphosphate in extrahepatic tissues; comparison with fructose 2,6-bisphosphateInt.

α-D-Glucose-1-phosphate sodium hydrate (Glucose-1-phosphate sodium hydrate) is an intermediate in glycogen metabolism and a precursor in UDP-glucose biosynthesis.

UDP-α-D-Glucose sodium hydrate is an endogenous metabolite and a pyrimidine nucleotide sugar, involved in glycosylation reactions during metabolic processes, serving as a precursor and substrate for enzymes in the synthesis of glycogen and sucrose.

α-D-Glucose 1-phosphate disodium salt is converted into D-glucose-6-phosphate by the enzyme phosphoglucomutase.

4,6-O-Ethylidene-α-D-glucose is a glucose derivative that competitively inhibits the extracellular binding site of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), with a Ki of 12 mM for the transport of wild-type 2-deoxy-D-glucose.

alpha-D-glucose (Standard) is the standard substance of alpha-D-glucose, and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. alpha-D-glucose (α-Dextrose) is a primary source of energy for living organisms. It is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and other parts of plants in its free state. It is used therapeutically in fluid and nutrient replacement.

Alpha-D-glucose hydrate is a monosaccharide and the most common form of glucose, playing a vital role in energy metabolism as the primary energy source for many cells. It is also a building block of larger carbohydrates such as starch and glycogen. The "α" prefix refers to the orientation of the hydroxyl group attached to the first carbon atom. In solution, alpha-D-glucose exists as a hydrate, bound to water molecules.

Alpha-D-Glucose 1,6-bisphosphate (cyclohexanamine) is a biochemical reagent used in glycobiology research. Glycobiology focuses on the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of sugars and involves carbohydrate chemistry, glycan formation, enzymology of degradation, protein-glycan recognition, and the roles of glycans in biological systems. This field is closely linked with fundamental research, biomedicine, and biotechnology.
