Glucose (Glc)

Target
Glc
Molecular classification
Monosaccharide, Aldohexose, Simple sugar, Carbohydrate
01

Overview

Glucose is the most abundant monosaccharide and a primary energy source for all living organisms. It fuels cellular respiration and serves as a building block for polysaccharides. In animals, blood glucose levels are tightly regulated by hormones like insulin. Dysregulation of glucose metabolism is associated with diseases like diabetes.
