- In chemistry, a
hexose is a
monosaccharide (simple sugar) with six
carbon atoms. The
chemical formula for all
hexoses is C6H12O6, and
their molecular...
-
hexokinase is an
enzyme that
irreversibly phosphorylates hexoses (six-carbon sugars),
forming hexose phosphate. In most organisms,
glucose is the most important...

Active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) is an alpha-glucan rich
nutritional supplement produced from
shiitake (Lentinula edodes). The
product is a subject...

- (5),
hexose (6),
heptose (7), and so on. Glucose, used as an
energy source and for the
synthesis of starch,
glycogen and cellulose, is a
hexose. Ribose...
- homofermentative, i.e.,
hexoses are
metabolized by
glycolysis to

pentose phosphate pathway (also
called the
phosphogluconate pathway and the

uronic acid
analog of
glucose is
glucuronic acid.
Uronic acids derived from
hexoses are
known as
hexuronic acids and

- stereoisomers. In the cell,
pentoses have a
higher metabolic stability than
hexoses. A
polymer composed of
pentose sugars is
called a pentosan. The most important...
