D-Apiose

• Description:

  D-Apiose is a branched pentose found in rhamnogalacturonan-II (RG-II) in the cell walls of higher plants and in apigalacturonan in the cell walls of aquatic monocots. D-Apiose increases cell wall stability by participating in interstrand RG-II crosslinking via boronate esters[1].
