D-Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (Triose phosphate) is a key intermediate in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, as well as a carbohydrate product of the Calvin cycle. D-Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate participates in the biosynthesis of tryptophan and thiamine. D-Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is released as an aldehyde under the action of aldolase or triosephosphate isomerase. D-Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate forms adducts with thiols[1][2].
