Dihydroxyacetone phosphate hemimagnesium hydrate

• CAT Number: I045597
• Molecular Formula: C3H7O6P.1/2Mg.xH2O
• Purity: ≥95%

Dihydroxyacetone phosphate hemimagnesium hydrate (Cat No.: I045597) is a stabilized salt form of dihydroxyacetone phosphate, a central intermediate in glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and lipid metabolism. DHAP participates in the triose phosphate isomerase reaction, interconverting with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, and serves as a precursor for glycerolipid and phospholipid biosynthesis. The hemimagnesium hydrate form improves stability and handling in biochemical applications. In research, it is widely used to study carbohydrate metabolism, energy homeostasis, enzymatic kinetics, and metabolic disorders involving impaired glycolytic or lipid biosynthetic pathways.
