Application

Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is used in fructose metabolism, triose and glycation research. It is used in studies involving the metabolism of three-carbon sugar pools and their roles in physiological and physical processes. DHAP may be used as a substrate to help identify, differentiate and characterize fructose-bisphosphate aldolase(s) (ALDOA) and triosephosphate isomerase(s). DHAP may be used to study cellular glycation stress.

Biochem/physiol Actions

A metabolic intermediate involved in many pathways, including glycolysis and the Calvin cycle.
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is a metabolic intermediate involved in many pathways, including glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, glycerol metabolism, phosphatidic acid synthesis, fat metabolism, and the Calvin cycle.

Disclaimer

Unlike the dimethyl ketal, does not require hydrolysis prior to use as a substrate.

Non-enzymatic glycation is the addition of free carbonyl group of reducing sugar to the free amino groups of proteins, resulting in the formation of a Schiff base and an Amadori product. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is one of the carbonyl species which

Sugar-derived reactive carbonyls (RCs), including methylglyoxal (MG), are aggressive by-products of oxidative stress known to impair the functions of multiple proteins. These advanced glycation end-products accumulate in patients with diabetes mellitus and cause major complications, including arteriosclerosis and cardiac insufficiency.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry has been widely used for biomolecular analysis. However, with conventional MALDI, it is difficult to analyse low-molecular-weight compounds because of the interference of matrix ion signals. Here, we report a matrix-free on-chip pulse-heating desorption/ionization
