Chronically high blood levels of this molecule react to convert hemoglobin into the HbA1c form.
Chronically high blood levels of this molecule react to convert hemoglobin into the HbA1c form. It prefers to form a ring structure with a hydroxymethyl group on the fifth carbon. In plants, this substance comprises amylopectin, which is highly branched. Linked in an alpha 1-4 scheme, this molecule is the monomer in (*) starch and cellulose, and its uptake into cells is induced by insulin. Name this monosaccharide that is split into two pyruvate (pi-ROO-vayt) molecules with a gain of two ATP in glycolysis, the main product of photosynthesis.
