D-Ribofuranose  (Synonyms: D-Ribose)

D-Ribofuranose (D-Ribose) is an endogenous metabolite present in Cerebrospinal_Fluid that can be used for the research of Ribose 5 Phosphate Isomerase Deficiency and Medium Chain Acyl Co A Dehydrogenase Deficiency^[1][2].

Endogenous metabolites is defined as those that are annotated by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes as substrates or products of the ~1900 metabolic enzymes encoded in our genome. It is clear in the body of literature that there are documented toxic properties for many of these metabolites^[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
