Glycerol-3-Phosphate (G3P), also known as glycerol phosphate, is a critical small-molecule metabolite present in all living organisms, playing indispensable roles in multiple core biological processes. It serves as a key intermediate in both energy metabolism and lipid biosynthesis, with two primary pathways for its production: one involves the conversion of glycerol via glycerol kinase, and the other is the transformation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate through glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH).
In energy metabolism, G3P participates in the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle system, which is vital for regenerating NAD⁺ in brain and skeletal muscle cells—this regeneration supports the continuous progression of glycolysis and subsequent ATP production, ensuring cells meet their energy demands.
In lipid metabolism, G3P acts as the fundamental "building block" for the glycerol backbone of lipids, enabling the synthesis of triglycerides and phospholipids—molecules essential for cell membrane structure, energy storage, and signal transduction.
Recent research has further expanded the known functions of G3P: in plants, it has been identified as a novel regulatory molecule that plays a foundational role in defending against pathogen attacks; in animal systems, abnormal G3P levels have been linked to lipid imbalance-related conditions such as obesity, as well as metabolic disorders like insulin resistance. Additionally, G3P is closely associated with the progression of certain cancers, making its quantitative detection crucial for studies in glycolysis, lipid metabolism, energy homeostasis, and disease mechanisms.
Our Glycerol-3-Phosphate (G3P) Content Assay Kit is specifically developed to meet the research needs of quantifying G3P levels in biological samples, providing reliable data support for scientific investigations in these fields.
Utilizes visible spectrophotometry, a well-established and widely accessible detection method that is compatible with standard laboratory equipment, eliminating the need for specialized fluorometric instruments and reducing experimental setup complexity.
Offers a test capacity of 50T/48S, making it suitable for both small-scale preliminary experiments and medium-volume sample batches, balancing flexibility and cost-effectiveness for research teams.
Ensures stable storage conditions: the kit can be stored at -20°C for up to 6 months, allowing for long-term inventory management and reducing the need for frequent reordering.
Includes clear safety guidelines (e.g., recommendations to wear lab coats, disposable gloves, and masks during operation) to protect researchers and maintain experimental safety.
Is designed for specificity in G3P detection, targeting the metabolite directly through established enzymatic reactions, which helps minimize interference from other biological components in samples and ensures accurate quantitative results.
High accessibility: Visible spectrophotometry is a routine technique in most research laboratories, meaning researchers do not need to invest in expensive, specialized equipment (such as fluorescence microplate readers) to use the kit, lowering the barrier to adoption.
Reliable stability: With a 6-month shelf life at -20°C, the kit maintains its performance over time, reducing the likelihood of reagent degradation and ensuring consistent results across experiments conducted at different time points.
Practical test capacity: The 50T/48S format caters to diverse research needs—whether testing a small number of samples for method validation or processing multiple samples from a single experiment, the kit provides sufficient capacity without excessive reagent waste.
Safety-focused design: Clear operational safety instructions help prevent potential hazards during reagent handling and sample processing, protecting researchers and maintaining a safe laboratory environment.
Research relevance: The kit directly targets G3P, a metabolite central to glycolysis, lipid metabolism, and disease-related studies, making it a valuable tool for researchers investigating energy homeostasis, lipid disorders, plant pathogenesis, and cancer metabolism.
For research use only, not for clinical use.
