Description

Glycerokinase CAS NO 9030-66-4 is a high-purity enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of glycerol, a critical step in glycerol metabolism. This product is essential for research and industrial processes requiring precise enzymatic activity and reliable performance. It is primarily utilized by biotechnology firms, diagnostic manufacturers, and academic research institutions for applications in biochemical assays, metabolic pathway studies, and biosensor development.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Assay Development: Used as a key reagent in enzymatic assays to quantify glycerol or ATP, and in studies of lipid metabolism and glycolysis pathways.
• Diagnostic Kit Manufacturing: Incorporated into clinical diagnostic kits for the accurate measurement of triglycerides, glycerol, and related biomarkers in blood serum.
• Biosensor Fabrication: Serves as a biological recognition element in amperometric and optical biosensors for food quality control and environmental monitoring.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed in drug discovery research targeting metabolic disorders and as a tool enzyme in the synthesis of specialized biochemical intermediates.
• Industrial Biotechnology: Applied in enzymatic processes for the conversion of glycerol, a biodiesel byproduct, into higher-value chemicals like dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP).
• Food & Beverage Analysis: Used in quality control laboratories to determine glycerol content in wines, beers, and other fermented products.

Quality Control

Our Glycerokinase is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems. Each batch is characterized for specific activity, purity, and stability to ensure consistent performance in sensitive applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing activity (U/mg), protein content, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture absorption.
