L-Xylulose 

L-Xylulose is an endogenous metabolite present in Blood, Cerebrospinal_Fluid and Urine that can be used for the research of Ribose 5 Phosphate Isomerase 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].

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