1 3-dihydroxyacetone , also known as DHA, is a triose ketose monosaccharide with the molecular formula C₃H₆O₃. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and polar solvents. Despite being a simple molecule, 1 3-dihydroxyacetone plays a crucial role in various biochemical pathways and industrial processes.
It should not be confused with dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) , which is its phosphorylated derivative involved in glycolysis and lipid metabolism.
