Glycerol 3-phosphate

Catalog No.GC36159 Copy One-Click Copy Product Info

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.

Description of Glycerol 3-phosphate

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].

Protocol of Glycerol 3-phosphate

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.
