Gdp glucose

Manufactured by Merck Group

GDP-glucose is a laboratory reagent used in biochemical and molecular biology research. It serves as a substrate for enzymes involved in the synthesis and interconversion of nucleotide-sugars, which are essential components of various biomolecules. The core function of GDP-glucose is to provide a source of glucose for these enzymatic reactions, facilitating the study of carbohydrate metabolism and signaling pathways in biological systems.

Sugar Nucleotide Extraction and Analysis

Sugar nucleotide extraction and analysis were performed as described (27 (link)). Briefly, cells were pelleted by centrifugation, washed in ice-cold PBS, and lysed in 70% ethanol in the presence of 20 pmol of the GDP-glucose as an internal standard (Sigma). The lysate was centrifuged to remove insoluble material, and the supernatant was extracted with butan-1-ol to remove lipids. Sugar nucleotides were extracted from the resulting aqueous phase using EnviCarb graphitized carbon columns (Supelco) as described previously (67 (link)). The eluted sugar nucleotides were analyzed by multiple-reaction monitoring LC-MS/MS (27 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
