Application

Thiamine pyrophosphate from Sigma has been used as a substrate to assay the enzymes in golgi lamellae isolated from rat tissue.
Thiamine pyrophosphate has been used:
  • for the preparation of chitosan nano-particles
  • as a standard for vitamin B1 and its derivative in high-performance
  • liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis
  • immunofluorescence

Biochem/physiol Actions

Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) is a coenzyme of transketolase, that catalyzes the cleavage of ribulose-5-phosphate. This reaction leads to the formation of D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. It requires the addition of an acceptor aldehyde such as ribose-5-phosphate, glyceraldehye or glycolaldehyde. TPP is capable of decarboxylating hydroxypyruvate in the presence of an ′acceptor aldehyde′.
