Description

Trehalose 6-Phosphate Dipotassium Salt is a high-purity, phosphorylated derivative of the non-reducing disaccharide trehalose. This compound serves as a critical biochemical intermediate and research tool for studying plant metabolism and sugar signaling pathways. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, particularly for applications in plant biology, enzymology, and the development of diagnostic assays.

Application

• Biochemical Research: A key substrate and standard for studying trehalose metabolism, enzyme kinetics (e.g., trehalose-6-phosphate synthase/phosphatase), and sugar signaling networks in plants and microorganisms.
• Plant Science & Agrochemical Development: Used in research to understand and manipulate stress tolerance, growth regulation, and yield in crops, aiding in the development of novel plant growth regulators.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Serves as a precise calibrant or component in enzymatic assay kits designed to measure trehalose or related metabolic activity.
• Enzyme Production & Characterization: Employed as a specific substrate for the production, purification, and activity testing of trehalose-related enzymes.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Potential use as a specialized intermediate in the synthesis of novel therapeutic agents or prodrugs targeting metabolic pathways.
• Reference Standard: High-purity grade material for use as an analytical reference standard in quality control laboratories for HPLC, LC-MS, or NMR analysis.
