''' Apiose''' is a branched-chain [[sugar]] found as residues in [[galacturonan]]s-type [[pectin]]s; that occurs in [[parsley]] and many other [[plant]]s. Apiose is a component of [[cell wall]] [[polysaccharides]].<ref>{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1093/glycob/cww012 | pmid = 26848180 | title = Apiose: One of nature's witty games | journal = Glycobiology | volume = 26 | issue = 5 | pages = 430–442 | year = 2016 | last1 = Pičmanová | first1 = Martina | last2 = Møller | first2 = Birger Lindberg | doi-access = free }}</ref>
[[Apiose 1-reductase]] uses [[apiitol|<small>D</small>-apiitol]] and [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide|NAD<sup>+</sup>]] to produce apiitol-apiose, [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide|NADH]], and [[hydrogen ion|H<sup>+</sup>]].
[[Flavone apiosyltransferase]] uses [[UDP-apiose]] and [[5,7,4'-Trihydroxyflavone 7-O-beta-D-glucoside|5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavone 7-''O''-β-<small>D</small>-glucoside]] to produce [[uridine diphosphate|UDP]], [[5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavone]] (apigenin), and 7-O-β-<small>D</small>-apiosyl-(1->2)-β-apiitol-glucoside.
