Biochem/physiol Actions

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate as part of glycolysis. It has also been shown to have roles in initiation of apoptosis, transcription activation and the shuttling of ER to Golgi vesicles﹤﹤﹤18,New>>>.

Physical form

Lyophilized powder containing sodium citrate buffer salts

Unit Definition
