Biochem/physiol Actions

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate as part of glycolysis. It has also been shown to have roles in initiation of apoptosis, transcription activation and the shuttling of ER to Golgi vesicles<<<,New>>>.

Unit Definition

One unit will reduce 1.0 μmole of 3-phosphoglycerate to D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate per min in a coupled system with 3-phosphoglyceric phosphokinase at pH 7.6 at 25 °C.

Physical form

Lyophilized, sulfate-free powder stabilized with trehalose, citrate, and DTT. Useful for systems requiring low sulfate.

Although the classical redox functions of co-enzyme NAD(+) are firmly established in metabolism, there are numerous enzymes that catalyze cleavage of NAD(+) to yield free ADP-ribose (ADPr) or related metabolites, whose functions remain largely unknown. Here we show that the

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a pleiotropic enzyme that is overexpressed in apoptosis and in several human chronic pathologies. Here, we report that the protein accumulates in mitochondria during apoptosis, and induces the pro-apoptotic mitochondrial membrane permeabilization, a decisive event of

siRNA is promising in anti-tumor therapy. The main challenge is lack of tumor-specific intracellular delivery. In this study, a 6 amino acids peptide (A1) with high affinity for vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (VEGFR1) was conjugated with a cell penetrating

Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 is an inducible inflammatory protein whose expression is partially regulated at the post-transcriptional level. We investigated whether glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) binds to the AU-rich element (ARE) of COX-2 mRNA for its degradation. Knockdown of GAPDH in hepa1c1c7 cells

Normalization to a reference gene is the method of choice for quantitative PCR analysis. The stability of reference genes is critical for accurate gene expression analysis, as significant variations in reference gene expression can alter experimental results and conclusions. In
