  • Title: Apiose: one of nature's witty games.
    Author: Pičmanová M, Møller BL.
    Journal: Glycobiology; 2016 May; 26(5):430-42. PubMed ID: 26848180.
    Abstract:
    Apiose is a unique branched-chain pentose found principally in plants. It is a key component of structurally complex cell wall polysaccharides, as well as being present in a large number of naturally occurring secondary metabolites. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on the metabolism and natural occurrence of apiose, using cyanogenic glycosides and their related compounds as a case study. The biological function of apiose and of apiosylated compounds is discussed.
