General description
Application
Glucose-6-Phosphatase from rabbit liver has been used in glucose 6-phosphatase inhibitory assay of crude C. anisata leaf extracts[3] and methanolic leaf and bark extracts of Dolichandrone atrovirens.[4]
Glucose-6-Phosphatase was used to study the effects of Clausena anisata (Wild hook leaf) extracts on selected diabetes-related metabolizing enzymes.[5]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Other Notes
It has been reported that glucose-6-phosphatase, inorganic pyrophosphatase, and pyrophosphate glucose phosphotransferase are associated with a single protein that catalyzes three different reactions:
a) glucose 6-phosphate + H2O → glucose + Pi
b) PPi + H2O → 2 Pi
c) glucose + PPi or nucleoside-DP or -TP → glucose 6-phosphate + Pi or nucleoside-MP.
a) glucose 6-phosphate + H2O → glucose + Pi

Protocols
To measure glucose-6-phosphatase activity, the Taussky-Shorr method is used. This method is a spectrophotometric stop-rate determination assay that is measured at 660 nm.
