    Product Description

    D-Sedoheptulose-7-phosphate is an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway.1,2 In this pathway, transaldolase catalyzes the transfer of a three carbon dihydroxyacetone moiety from D-sedoheptulose-7-phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to generate D-fructose-6-phosphate. D-Sedoheptulose-7-phosphate is also an intermediate in carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms, as well as in the biosynthesis of lipopolysaccharide, amino acids, secondary metabolites, and antibiotics.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
