2-Keto-D-glucose（Cat No.:R000724）is a rare monosaccharide derivative of glucose characterized by a keto group at the C-2 position. It serves as an important intermediate in carbohydrate metabolism and is widely studied in glycoscience and enzymology. This keto-sugar is a valuable substrate for investigating sugar isomerases, mutarotases, and metabolic pathways involving ketoses. Researchers also use it in structural biology, microbial metabolism studies, and synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. Its unique reactivity makes 2-keto-D-glucose a versatile tool for probing enzymatic mechanisms, metabolic engineering, and the design of novel bioactive carbohydrate derivatives.
