Descriptor Spanish: Dihidroxiacetona
Descriptor dihidroxiacetona
Scope note: Compuesto cetotriosa. Su adición a soluciones para la conservación de la sangre se sigue de una mejor permanencia de las concentraciones de 2,3-difosfoglicerato durante el almacenamiento. Se fosforila fácilmente a dihidroxiacetona fosfato mediante trioquinasa en los eritrocitos. En combinación con naftoquinonas actúa como filtro solar.

Scope note: 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.
