Glucose-1-Phosphate (G1P) BioAssay(TM) Kit (Colorimetric)

Cat no: 167838

Glucose-1-Phosphate (G1P) BioAssay(TM) Kit (Colorimetric)

Glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) is an important carbohydrate intermediate in glucose metabolism and storage. In response to hormonal or neural signals, glycogenolysis occurs in liver and muscle tissues where Glucose-1-phosphate is released as the rate-limiting step in glycogen breakdown. Glucose-1-phosphate is subsequently converted to Glucose-6-phosphate by phosphoglucomutase and enters glycolysis. In glycogen synthesis, glucose is transferred to glycogen through the actions of Phosphoglucose isomerase (G6P -> G1P), UDPG-pyrophosphorylase (G1P -> UDP-glucose) and glycogen synthase (UDP-glucose + glycogen[n] -> UDP + glycogen[n+1]). Glucose-1-phosphate is found in virtually all organisms from bacteria to higher plants and animals. Measurement of intracellular G1P levels is crucial for analyzing the carbohydrate metabolic pathways and their kinetic properties. In Glucose-1-phosphate assay, G1P is converted to glucose-6-phosphate by phosphoglucomutase in the presence of Glucose 1,6-biphosphate; glucose-6-phosphate is subsequently oxidized by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase to form NADH which reduces a colorless probe to a colored product with strong absorbance at 450nm. \n\nSample Type:\nAnimal tissues: Liver, muscle and heart etc. Cell culture: Adherent or suspension cells.\n\nIntended Use:\nThe kit can detect glucose-1-phosphate concentrations in the range of 1uM
