General description
Glyceraldehyde is a simple monosaccharide. Based on the number of carbon atoms and the type of carbonyl group present, glyceraldehyde belongs to subgroup triose. It is a colourless and sweet compound.
Application
DL-Glyceraldehyde has been used:
- as modifying reagent in the preparation of crystallization solution
- as a substrate to measure aldose reductase activity
- in the preparation of d/l-glyceraldehyde stock to determine the specific activity of GAPDH (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glyceraldehyde serves as an efficient cross-linking agent and is considered non-toxic. It is an intermediate of a number of metabolic such as glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway.
Other Notes
DL-Glyceraldehyde is a substrate for the enzyme aldose reductase.
