Preferred Label : Glucose;
NCIt related terms : DEXTROSE, UNSPECIFIED FORM; 6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane-2,3,4,5-tetrol;
NCIt definition : A simple sugar monosaccharide having two isoforms, alpha and beta, with a chemical
structure of C6H12O6 that acts as an energy source for both plants and animals by
reacting with oxygen, generating carbon dioxide and water, and releasing energy.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A type of sugar; the chief source of energy for living organisms.; CRCH: A hexose with an aldehyde group; in which each of the 5 remaining carbons other
than the aldehyde group has one hydroxyl group in the R,S,R, and R configuration counting
from the first hydroxyl containing carbon next to the aldehyde in the straight chain
(Fisher) projection; otherwise all carbons have exclusively hydrogens. Occurs mostly
as pyran (6-membered oxygen containing ring or oxane) and rarely as furan (5-membered
oxygen containing ring) or straight chain. When glucose forms a ring an additional
anomeric asymmetric carbon is created which is denoted as alpha or beta. For isomers
