Biochem/physiol Actions

2-Keto-D-glucose is the key intermediate of a secondary metabolic pathway leading to the antibiotic β-pyrone cortalcerone. This antibiotic offers protection to fungi against bacteria. The enzymatic oxidation of d-glucose by pyanose 2 oxidase results in 2-keto-D-glucose, and is considered as rare sugar.
