General description
Research area: Cell Signaling
Glycerol kinase is encoded by the GK gene on chromosome Xp21.2. Glycerol kinase is predominantly active in the liver.
Glycerol kinase is encoded by the GK gene on chromosome Xp21.2. Glycerol kinase is predominantly active in the liver.
Application
Glycerokinase from Bacillus stearothermophilus has been used in steady-state kinetics studies.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glycerol kinase catalyzes tge MgATP-dependent phosphorylation of glycerol to produce sn-glycerol-3-phosphate and is the rate limiting enzyme in the utilization of glycerol. It is also subject to feedback regulation by fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.Oxidized glycerol-3-phosphate results in dihydroxyacetone phosphate which enters either glycolysis or gluconeogenesis. Elevated glycerol is observed in glycerol kinase deficiency leading to pseudohypertriglyceridemia.
Physical form
Stabilized solution in Tris buffer, pH 7.3
Other Notes
One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of glycerol and ATP to L-α-glycerophosphate and ADP per min at pH 9.8 at 25 °C in a coupled system with PK/LDH.

Carbon-carbon bond formation is one of the most challenging reactions in synthetic organic chemistry, and aldol reactions catalysed by dihydroxyacetone phosphate-dependent aldolases provide a powerful biocatalytic tool for combining C-C bond formation with the generation of two new stereo-centres, with

African trypanosome species are causative agents for sleeping sickness in humans and nagana disease in cattle. Trypanosoma brucei can generate ATP via a reverse reaction with glycerol kinase (GK) when alternative oxidase (AOX) is inhibited; thus, GK is considered to

Fructose-1 ,6-diphosphate is a feedback inhibitor of the catabolic enzyme, glycerol kinase, in Escherichia coli. A mutant was isolated which produced a desensitized enzyme. Glucose was no longer as effective in preventing the utilization of exogenous glycerol by cells which

Herein we measure the effect of four adaptive non-synonymous mutations to the glycerol kinase (glpK) gene on catalytic function and regulation, to identify changes that correlate to increased fitness in glycerol media. The mutations significantly reduce affinity for the allosteric
