Guluronic acid is a uronic acid monosaccharide that may be derived from gulose.[1] l-Guluronic acid is a C-3 epimer of l-galacturonic acid and a C-5 epimer of d-mannuronic acid.[2] Along with d-mannuronic acid, l-guluronic acid is a component of alginic acid, a polysaccharide found in brown algae.[3]
