Chemical Information
FooDB NameGlyceraldehyde
DescriptionGlyceraldehyde, also known as aldotriose or glycerose, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are compounds containing one carbohydrate unit not glycosidically linked to another such unit, and no set of two or more glycosidically linked carbohydrate units. Monosaccharides have the general formula CnH2nOn. Glyceraldehyde is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Glyceraldehyde exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, glyceraldehyde is involved in the metabolic disorder called the transaldolase deficiency pathway. Outside of the human body, Glyceraldehyde has been detected, but not quantified in, milk (cow). This could make glyceraldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Glyceraldehyde is a potentially toxic compound. It is a sweet colorless crystalline solid that is an intermediate compound in carbohydrate metabolism. Glyceraldehyde is a highly reactive compound that can modify and cross-link proteins. Glyceraldehyde is a triose monosaccharide with chemical formula C3H6O3.
