Term ID

GO:0019590

Synonyms

• L-arabitol and xylitol degradation
• L-arabitol breakdown to xylulose 5-phosphate
• L-arabitol degradation to xylulose 5-phosphate
• L-arabitol utilization

Definition

The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of L-arabitol to form xylulose 5-phosphate. L-arabitol is converted into L-xylulose, which is then phosphorylated to L-xylulose-5-phosphate. This is converted to D-xylulose-5-phosphate via the intermediate L-ribulose-5-phosphate.
