Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlucosamine
DescriptionGlucosamine, also known as dona or chitosamine, 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. Glucosamine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Glucosamine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Glucosamine can be converted into glucosamine 6-phosphate; which is mediated by the enzyme hexokinase-1. In cattle, glucosamine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the amino sugar metabolism pathway.
