Dihydroxyacetone Phosphate is an important metabolic intermediate. It arises as one of two products of the breakdown of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. Once formed it can be converted to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and continue through the glycolytic cycle. It is also produced in the Calvin cycle as part of the carbon fixation process in plants. It serves as a bridge between carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. DHAP plays a role in cellular signaling where it signals glucose availability to mTORC1, an important cell growth regulator. AkrivisBio’s Dihydroxyacetone Phosphate Assay is a simple, convenient means of measuring DHAP in a variety of sample types with sensitivity in the low picomole range.
