Metabolite Identification
Common NameErythrose
DescriptionErythrose, also known as L-threose or D-erythro-tetrose, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pentoses. These are monosaccharides in which the carbohydrate moiety contains five carbon atoms. Erythrose is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Erythrose exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
