D-Galacturonic Acid (hydrate)

D-Galacturonic acid is a monosaccharide and the major component of pectin. It is formed from glucose in a multi-step process in which uridine-5'-diphosphoglucuronic acid (UDP-glucuronic acid, Cay-20674) is epimerized to UDP-galacturonic acid, from which D-galacturonic acid can be oligomerized to form pectin or metabolized to L-ascorbic acid (Cay-14656), L-galactonic acid, galactaric acid, or D-(+)-xylose (Cay-33236). D-Galacturonic acid (200, 400, and 800 mg/kg) increases body weight and reduces intestinal mucosal permeability in a rat model of iodoacetamide-induced functional dyspepsia.Formal Name: D-galacturonic acid, monohydrate.
