Description
Glycerol kinase catalyzes tge MgATP-dependent phosphorylation of glycerol to produce sn-glycerol-3-phosphate and is the rate limiting enzyme in the utilization of glycerol. It is also subject to feedback regulation by fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.Application:This enzyme is used for the enzymatic determination of triglyceride in serum by couplingwith glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (G-3-PDH) and L-a-glycerophosphate oxidase (GPO)or pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase in clinical diagnosis
