Substrate specificity | This enzyme catalyzes the stereospecific transfer of the terminal phosphoryl moiety of ATP to one of the primary hydroxyl group of glycerol, forming sn-glycerol-3-P. The enzyme has the highest specificity for glycerol, and also phosphorylates dihydroxyacetone and glyceraldehyde (Table 1,2). Mg2+ is essentially required for the reaction. |
Effect of various chemicals | (Table 3) |
This enzyme is useful for enzymatic determination of glycerol and triglyceride in combination with glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase (=G-3-P oxidase, G3O-321) or pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase (LCD-209, LCD-211, LCD-221), lipoprotein lipase (LPL-311, LPL-314) in clinical analysis.
The formation of NADH is measured at 340 nm by spectrophotometry.
One unit causes the formation of one micromole of NADH per minute under the conditions detailed below.

2. Add 0.05 mL of the enzyme solution* and mix by gentle inversion.
3. Record the increase in optical density at 340 nm against water for 3 to 4 minutes with a spectrophotometer thermostated at 25 ℃ and calculate the ΔOD per minute from the initial linear portion of the curve (ΔOD test).
At the same time, measure the blank rate (ΔOD blank) using the same method as the test except that the enzyme diluent is added instead of the enzyme solution.
*Dissolve the enzyme preparation in ice-cold enzyme diluent (F), dilute to 0.2−0.4 U/mL with the same buffer and store on ice.
Activity can be calculated by using the following formula :
Volume activity (U/mL) =
ΔOD/min (ΔOD test−ΔOD blank)×Vt×df
6.22×1.0×Vs
= ΔOD/min×10.7×df
Weight activity (U/mg) = (U/mL)×1/C
Vt | : Total volume (3.33 mL) |
Vs | : Sample volume (0.05 mL) |
6.22 | : Millimolar extinction coefficient of NADH (cm2/micromole) |
1.0 | : Light path length (cm) |
df | : Dilution factor |
C | : Enzyme concentration in dissolution (c mg/mL) |
