Apiose

Apiose is a branched-chain sugar found as residues in galacturonans-type pectins; that occurs in parsley and many other plants. Apiose is a component of cell wall polysaccharides. Apiose 1-reductase uses and NAD+ to produce apiitol-apiose, NADH, and H+. Flavone apiosyltransferase uses and to produce UDP, 5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavone (apigenin), and 7-O-β-D-apiosyl-(1->2)-β-apiitol-glucoside.
