Relating to a hexose sugar bonded to a single phosphate group.
From hexose (six-carbon sugar) + mono- (one) + phosphoric (containing phosphate). This biochemical term describes partially phosphorylated sugars important in cellular metabolism.
Glucose-6-phosphate is the classic hexosemonophosphoric compound—it's what hexokinase creates immediately after glucose enters your cell, trapping it inside and marking the first committed step of glucose metabolism.
