D-Sedoheptulose, >=95% (TLC)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Substrate for sedoheptulose kinase CARKL directing macro-phage polarization through control of glucose metabolism. Accumulation under carbondioxide enrichment in leaves. Patients with the autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease cystinosis have elevated urinary concentrations of sedoheptulose.

D-Sedoheptulose, also known as D-altro-2-heptulose, facilitates the cyclic regeneration of D-ribulose for carbon dioxide fixation in plant photosynthesis.
