It is the first key enzyme in the glucose degradation pathway, catalyzing the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, which is the intersection point of glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway.Assay PrincipleHK catalyzes the synthesis of Glucose-6-Phosphate (G6P) from Glucose. Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PDH) then further catalyzes the dehydrogenation of G6P, generating NADPH. NADPH has a characteristic absorption peak at 340 nm.Component50TStorageExtraction Buffer60 mL2-8℃Reagent 130 mL2-8℃Reagent 21EA2-8℃Reagent 35 mL2-8℃Reagent 41EA-20℃Reagent 51EA-20℃Reagent 61EA-20℃Reagent 2: Powder × 1 bottle.
