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.
Unit Definition
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.
Physical form
Stabilized solution in Tris buffer, pH 7.3

The activity of glycerol kinase is rate-limiting in the metabolism of glycerol by cells of Escherichia coli. A mutant strain producing a glycerol kinase resistant to inhibition by fructose-1,6-diphosphate grows faster than its wild-type parent on glycerol as the sole

Animal and human studies suggest that a malleable protein matrix (MPM) from whey decreases plasma lipid concentrations and may positively influence other components of the metabolic syndrome such as glucose metabolism and blood pressure (BP). The primary objective of this
