Description

Biochem/physiol Actions

D-Ribulose is a metabolite in pentose and glucuronate interconversions. It plays a role in the D-arabitol production from U. fabae. Ribulose is a rare aldopentose that might show antitumoral and antiviral activities. It acts as a substrate for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP⁺)-dependent D-arabitol dehydrogenase (ARD1p) enzyme and D-tagatose-3-epimerase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Its monophosphate D-ribulose 5-phosphate is an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway of glycolysis. D-Ribulose may be found in plants like algae, sugar beet leaves, and barley seed leaves.
