Introduction
Glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) is a key metabolic intermediate for glucose to enter either metabolic pathways or storage. G6P is generated when glucose is phosphorylated by hexokinase / glucokinase, or by the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate by phosphoglucomutase during glycogenolysis. G6P lies at the beginning of both glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathways. In addition to these metabolic pathways, glucose 6-phosphate may also be converted to glycogen or starch for storage. G6P is utilized by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) to generate reducing equivalents in the form of NADPH. This is particularly important in red blood cells where a G6PDH deficiency leads to hemolytic anemia.
Glucose-6-Phosphate Assay Kit provides a simple, reproducible, and sensitive tool of measuring glucose-6-phosphate concentration in plasma, serum, cell lysates, and other biological liquid samples. In this assay, glucose-6-phosphate is oxidized by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, the formed NADPH is coupled to the colorimetric probe that produces a colored product which can be measured at 450 nm. The optical density measured is directly proportional to the concentration of glucose-6-phosphate present in the sample.
