General description

6-Deoxy-D-glucose is a structural homolog of D-glucose (dextrose) and stable analog. It lacks the hydroxyl group at carbon 6 position. It is also an analog of mannose.

Application

6-Deoxy-D-glucose has been used as a standard in the circular dichroism measurements. It has also been used as sugar to incubate starved Dictyostelium HMX44A.atg1-1 cells for microscopy studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) is used as a glycolytic inhibitor in studying the biological function of glucose. It is not metabolized, induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and hence, blocks the carbohydrate metabolism in cancer cells. It has therapeutic potential in targeting chemo-resistant hypoxic cancer cells. 2-DG halts the N-linked glycosylation by replacing mannose.

DesII, a radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) enzyme from Streptomyces venezuelae, catalyzes the deamination of TDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-D-glucose to TDP-3-keto-4,6-dideoxy-D-glucose in the desosamine biosynthetic pathway. DesII can also catalyze the dehydrogenation of TDP-D-quinovose to the corresponding 3-keto sugar. Similar to other radical SAM enzymes
