General description
Glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH; EC 1.1.1.8) catalyzes the reversible conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate and NADH to glycerol-3-phosphate and NAD+.[1][2] It forms a glycerol phosphate shuttle and facilitates the transfer of reduced equivalents across the mitochondria to the cytosol.[3] GPDH is important for both carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.[2] Mutations in GPDH gene result in transient infantile hypertriglyceridemia.[1]
Application
GPDH (glyceraldhyde-3-phoshate dehydrogenase) activity assay kit has been used to measure the serum and hepatic concentrations of GPDH in rabbit.[4]
Suitability
Suitable for the detection of Glycerol-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Activity in tissue and cell culture samples.
Principle
The Glycerol 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Activity Colorimetric Assay Kit provides a simple and sensitive procedure for measuring GPDH activity in a variety of tissues and cells. GPDH activity is determined by measuring a colorimetric product with absorbance at 450 nm (A450) proportional to the enzymatic activity present. One unit of GPDH is the amount of enzyme required to generate 1.0 μmole of NADH per minute at pH 8 at 37 °C.

Which substrate is used for the detection in the activity assay kit for mGPDH (GPD2)
1 answer-
The substrate used for detection in the MAK208 kit for measuring Glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity is dihydroxyacetone. This kit specifically measures cytosolic GPDH, identified by the EC number 1.1.1.8, and it quantifies the production of NADH. Cytosolic GPDH catalyzes the conversion of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate and NAD into NADH, glycerone phosphate, and H+. On the other hand, mitochondrial GPDH, identified by the EC number 1.1.5.3, catalyzes a different reaction involving sn-glycerol 3-phosphate and quinone into glycerone phosphate and quinol.
