General description

DL-α-Glycerol phosphate is a racemic mixture of the D- and L-glycerophosphate enantiomers.

Application

DL-α-Glycerol phosphate magnesium salt hydrate has been used:
  • in oxidase and dehydrogenase assays
  • as a component of the osteoblast differentiation medium
  • for mineralization of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels containing alkaline phosphatase designed for osteochondral regeneration


DL-a-Glycerol phosphate may be used to assess the lysogenic-strain features of agalactiae bacteriophages

Although triacylglycerol (TAG) stores play a critical role in organisms, mechanisms underlying TAG synthesis are poorly understood in invertebrates. In mammals, the synthesis of glycerolipids, including TAG, diacylglycerol (DAG) and phospholipids (PL), occurs predominantly by the glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) pathway in
