Description_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is used in fructose metabolism, triose and glycation research. It is used in studies involving the metabolism of three-carbon sugar pools and their roles in physiological and physical processes. DHAP may be used as a substrate to help identify, differentiate and characterize fructose-bisphosphate aldolase(s) (ALDOA) and triosephosphate isomerase(s). DHAP may be used to study cellular glycation stress._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 100, 250 mg in poly bottle_x000D_ 5, 10, 25 mg in glass bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is a metabolic intermediate involved in many pathways, including glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, glycerol metabolism, phosphatidic acid synthesis, fat metabolism, and the Calvin cycle._x000D_ Caution_x000D_ Unlike the dimethyl ketal, does not require hydrolysis prior to use as a substrate._x000D_ Preparation Note_x000D_ Enzymatically prepared._x000D_ Other Notes_x000D_ Tandem Mass Spectrometry data independently generated by Scripps Center for Metabolomics is available to view or download in PDF.
