Definition
Mannitol 1-phosphate is a sugar alcohol. Mannitol 1-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.17) reduces fructose 6-phosphate into mannitol 1-phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals and the mannitol cycle of organisms such as Lactobacillus plantarum, a lactic acid bacterium found in many fermented food products. Mannitol 1-phosphate is also produced in many organisms that have a range of biological interactions with humans (e.g. A. niger, A. parasiticus, B. subtilis, C. difficile, E. faecalis, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, L. salivarius, M. hyopneumoniae, M. mycoides, M. pneumoniae, P. multocida, S. typhi, S. typhimurium, S. aureus, S. pneumoniae, V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, Y. pestis).
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monosaccharide phosphates. These are monosaccharides comprising a phosphated group linked to the carbohydrate unit.
