Product Description:

D-Glucose 6-phosphate disodium salt is a key phosphorylated sugar derivative, specifically the sodium salt of the 6-phosphate ester of D-glucose. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water. This compound serves as a fundamental biochemical reagent and metabolic intermediate. It is a critical substrate in glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway, making it essential for studies in enzymology, metabolism, and cell biology. It is widely used in diagnostic kits for enzyme activity assays (e.g., glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) and as a component in cell culture media and biochemical research buffers to study energy metabolism. As a basic biochemical building block, it is also employed in the synthesis of more complex carbohydrate derivatives and as a standard in analytical chemistry. It should be stored in a cool, dry place and handled with standard laboratory precautions.
