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.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in ATP binding
Specific function:
Catalyzes the phosphorylation of various hexoses, such as D-glucose, D-glucosamine, D-fructose, D-mannose and 2-deoxy-D-glucose, to hexose 6-phosphate (D-glucose 6-phosphate, D-glucosamine 6-phosphate, D-fructose 6-phosphate, D-mannose 6-phosphate and 2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphate, respectively). Does not phosphorylate N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (By similarity). Mediates the initial step of glycolysis by catalyzing phosphorylation of D-glucose to D-glucose 6-phosphate (By similarity). Involved in innate immunity and inflammation by acting as a pattern recognition receptor for bacterial peptidoglycan. When released in the cytosol, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine component of bacterial peptidoglycan inhibits the hexokinase activity of HK1 and causes its dissociation from mitochondrial outer membrane, thereby activating the NLRP3 inflammasome (By similarity).
