Glycerol 3-phosphate |
|
Catalog No.GC36159
|
Glycerol 3-phosphate is produced by the cytosolic glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase pathway. Cytosolic glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) consumes NADH to produce glycolol 3-phosphate from dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP). The generated glycolol 3-phosphate can cross the permeable outer mitochondrial membrane. Glycerol 3-phosphate is unstable in its free form, and its stable salt form sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate lithium (GC61482) with the same biological activity is recommended.
Products are for research use only. Not for human use. We do not sell to patients.

Glycerol 3-phosphate is produced by the cytosolic glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase pathway. Cytosolic glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) consumes NADH to produce glycolol 3-phosphate from dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP). The generated glycolol 3-phosphate can cross the permeable outer mitochondrial membrane[1]. Glycerol 3-phosphate is unstable in its free form, and its stable salt form sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate lithium (GC61482) with the same biological activity is recommended.
Glycerol 3-phosphate alone can inhibit the proliferation of DU145 and A549 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, and Glycerol 3-phosphate can increase the sensitivity of cells to metformin. When the concentration of Glycerol 3-phosphate is equal to or less than 1mmol/L, it has no adverse effect on the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of DU145 and A549 cells, but as the concentration of Glycerol 3-phosphate increases (10, 100mmol/L), OCR begins to be inhibited[2].
In C57Bl/6J mice, plasma intact fibroblast growth factor 23 (iFGF23) and C-terminal FGF23 (cFGF23) levels showed a dose-dependent increase after a single intraperitoneal injection of Glycerol 3-phosphate (50, 150 and 300mg/kg). Glycerol 3-phosphate increased the urine phosphate/creatinine ratio and decreased plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 levels[3]. In a myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) mouse model, glycerol 3-phosphate reduced myocardial infarction area (42 ± 2%) compared with the control group (56 ± 4%) by activating the quinone pool (Q-pool) to stimulate the production of ROS in complex III (antimycin A)[4].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | DU145 and A549 cells |
Preparation Method | DU145 and A549 cells were treated with different concentrations of Glycerol 3-phosphate and 2.5mmol/L metformin, and cell viability was detected by CCK-8 method. |
Reaction Conditions | 1-200mmol/L |
Applications | Glycerol 3-phosphate alone inhibited the proliferation of DU145 and A549 cells, and Glycerol 3-phosphate significantly improved the anti-proliferation ability of metformin. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | C57Bl/6J mice |
Preparation Method | Glycerol 3-phosphate, LPA, sodium phosphate dibasic, G-2-P, glycerol , 1,25(OH)2D , and IL-6 were i.p. injected into 3–10 mice per group. Mice were sacrificed 24h after i.p. injection, and blood, femur, bone marrow, and other tissues were collected for further analysis. |
Dosage form | 50, 150 and 300mg/kg, 24h, i.p. |
Applications | In C57Bl/6J mice, plasma iFGF23 and C-terminal FGF23 (cFGF23) levels demonstrated a dose-dependent increase following a single dose of Glycerol 3-phosphate, with no change in the cFGF23/iFGF23 ratio. |
