Description

D-Glucose-6-Phosphate Barium Salt is a high-purity biochemical reagent, specifically the barium salt of glucose-6-phosphate, a critical intermediate in carbohydrate metabolism. This compound is essential for research and industrial processes requiring a stable, non-acidic form of the key metabolic intermediate. It is primarily utilized by biochemists, pharmaceutical researchers, and diagnostic manufacturers for enzyme studies, diagnostic reagent formulation, and as a substrate in biochemical assays.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Enzyme Assays: Serves as a fundamental substrate for studying enzymes like glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in the pentose phosphate pathway.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Used in the formulation of clinical diagnostic kits for measuring enzyme activity, particularly in hematology and metabolic disorder testing.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Acts as a key starting material or reference standard in the development and quality control of metabolic pharmaceuticals.
• Cell Culture & Metabolism Studies: Employed in cell-based research to investigate glucose metabolism, energy production, and cellular signaling pathways.
• Food & Beverage Analysis: Utilized as a standard in enzymatic methods for the quantification of sugars and related compounds in food science.
• Academic Teaching & Reference Standard: Provides a high-purity compound for educational laboratories and as a certified reference material (CRM) for analytical calibration.
