These are an aldehyde with a chain length containing between 2 and 5 carbon atoms. Glycolaldehyde exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Glycolaldehyde exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In cattle, glycolaldehyde is involved in the metabolic pathway called the vitamin B6 metabolism pathway.
