Dihydroxyacetone
A ketotriose compound. Its addition to blood preservation solutions results in better maintenance of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate levels during storage. It is readily phosphorylated to dihydroxyacetone phosphate by triokinase in erythrocytes. In combination with naphthoquinones it acts as a sunscreening agent.
Also Known As:
1,3-Dihydroxy-2-Propanone; Chromelin; Vitadye; 1,3 Dihydroxy 2 Propanone; 2-Propanone, 1,3-dihydroxy-
