Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Arabinose
DescriptionL-Arabinose, also known as L-arabinopyranose, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pentoses. These are monosaccharides in which the carbohydrate moiety contains five carbon atoms. L-Arabinose exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. L-Arabinose exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. L-Arabinose has been found to be associated with several diseases known as eosinophilic esophagitis and colorectal cancer; also l-arabinose has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including ribose-5-phosphate isomerase deficiency.
