Applications & Uses
Uses
DL-Glyceraldehyde has been used:as modifying reagent in the preparation of crystallization solution as a substrate to measure aldose reductase activityin the preparation of d/l-glyceraldehyde stock to determine the specific activity of GAPDH (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase)
Uses
Isotope labelled Glyceraldehyde is the simplest of all aldoses and have been shown to be the one of the carbonyl metabolite of dietary fructose.
General Description
Glyceraldehyde is a simple monosaccharide. Based on the number of carbon atoms and the type of carbonyl group present, glyceraldehyde belongs to subgroup triose. It is a colourless and sweet compound.
