Apiose is a branched-chain sugar found as residues in galacturonans-type pectins; that occurs in parsley and many other plants.Apiose 1-reductase uses D-apiitol and NAD+ to produce D-apiose NADH and H+.Flavone apiosyltransferase uses UDP-apiose and 574′-trihydroxyflavone 7-O-beta-D-glucoside to produce UDP 574′-trihydroxyflavone (apigenin) and 7-O-[beta-D-apiosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-glucoside.
