The cause of species difference in the susceptibility of erythrocytes to L-sorbose, and the difference in the hemolytic effect of sorbose on high potassium-containing (HK) and low potassium-containing (LK) canine erythrocytes were examined. L-sorbose was phosphorylated in canine erythrocytes, but not in human erythrocytes. Furthermore, sorbose-1-phosphate, a metabolite of L-sorbose, strongly inhibited the hexokinase of LK canine erythrocytes, but not that of HK canine erythrocytes. These results strongly indicated that inhibition of hexokinase by sorbose-1-phosphate in LK erythrocytes induced severe glycolytic limitation in these cells, resulting in hemolysis, and that HK erythrocytes are resistant to sorbose-induced hemolysis because these cells have a high hexokinase activity.
