Product details

Glyceraldehyde 3 Phosphate Dehydrogenase Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric) (ab204732) provides a simple and sensitive method for monitoring GAPDH activity in various samples. In this assay, GAPDH catalyzes conversion of GAP into BPG and an intermediate, which reacts with a developer to form a colored product that absorbs maximally at 450 nm. Our high-throughput adaptable assay can detect GAPDH activity as low as 100 uU/mL in a variety of samples.

GAPDH assay protocol summary
- add samples and standards to wells
- add reaction mix
- analyze with microplate reader for 10 min every 2-3 min

Other Notes
This product was previously called K680 GAPDH Activity Assay Kit. Biovision was acquired by Abcam in 2021.

GAPDH (Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase; EC 1.2.1.12) catalyzes the conversion of Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate (GAP) to 1, 3-Bisphosphate Glycerate (BPG) and plays a key role in glycolysis. The enzyme is involved in cellular processes such as apoptosis, membrane trafficking, iron metabolism and nuclear translocation. GAPDH (housekeeping gene) expression is stable and constitutive. Deregulation of GAPDH activity is associated with abnormal cell proliferation and carcinogenesis. Accurate quantitation of GAPDH activity is important for diagnosing diseases and studying normal cellular physiology.

Supplementary information

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase commonly known as GAPDH is an enzyme involved in glycolysis. Its molecular weight (MW) is approximately 36 kDa. The protein is expressed ubiquitously in almost all tissues reflecting its essential role in energy production. GAPDH catalyzes the sixth step of glycolysis converting glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate into 13-bisphosphoglycerate. Due to its stable expression researchers often use GAPDH as a loading control in western blot experiments.
Biological function summary

GAPDH serves important metabolic functions beyond its enzymatic role in glycolysis. It functions as part of a multi-enzyme complex within the cytoplasm which facilitates efficient substrate channeling during glycolysis. Additionally GAPDH has non-glycolytic roles including involvement in nuclear processes like RNA export and DNA repair. Its ubiquitous presence across different cellular compartments indicates its multiple functions beyond metabolic pathways.

Pathways

GAPDH integrates into significant cellular functions like the glycolytic pathway and apoptotic pathways. In glycolysis GAPDH collaborates with enzymes like phosphoglycerate kinase forming a cohesive link in the energy conversion chain. Its participation in apoptotic pathways highlights GAPDH's involvement in cellular death processes interacting with proteins like Bcl-2 to influence apoptosis progression. These roles reinforce its presence in central metabolic and regulatory pathways.

GAPDH has associations with neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. In neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease GAPDH's altered enzymatic activity is frequently observed influencing cellular energy homeostasis. Moreover overexpression or aberrant regulation of GAPDH relates to cancer cell proliferation and metastasis implicating proteins like p53 in these pathways. The diverse functions and interactions of GAPDH emphasize its importance in both normal cellular function and disease states.

Target data

Has both glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and nitrosylase activities, thereby playing a role in glycolysis and nuclear functions, respectively (PubMed : 11724794, PubMed : 3170585). Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is a key enzyme in glycolysis that catalyzes the first step of the pathway by converting D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) into 3-phospho-D-glyceroyl phosphate (PubMed : 11724794, PubMed : 3170585). Modulates the organization and assembly of the cytoskeleton (By similarity). Facilitates the CHP1-dependent microtubule and membrane associations through its ability to stimulate the binding of CHP1 to microtubules (By similarity). Component of the GAIT (gamma interferon-activated inhibitor of translation) complex which mediates interferon-gamma-induced transcript-selective translation inhibition in inflammation processes (PubMed : 23071094). Upon interferon-gamma treatment assembles into the GAIT complex which binds to stem loop-containing GAIT elements in the 3'-UTR of diverse inflammatory mRNAs (such as ceruplasmin) and suppresses their translation (PubMed : 23071094). Also plays a role in innate immunity by promoting TNF-induced NF-kappa-B activation and type I interferon production, via interaction with TRAF2 and TRAF3, respectively (PubMed : 23332158, PubMed : 27387501). Participates in nuclear events including transcription, RNA transport, DNA replication and apoptosis (By similarity). Nuclear functions are probably due to the nitrosylase activity that mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of nuclear target proteins such as SIRT1, HDAC2 and PRKDC (By similarity).
