Product overview
Dihydroxyacetone Phosphate (DHAP) Assay Kit (Fluorometric) (ab197003) is suitable for measuring low levels of DHAP typically found in a variety of samples. In this kit, triose phosphate isomerase (TPI) converts dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP), which subsequently undergoes a series of reaction and reduces the probe to generate fluorescence. The fluorescence intensity generated is directly proportional to the amount of dihydroxyacetone Phosphate.
Detection limit: 0.5 µM DHAP.

Notes
Dihydroxyacetone Phosphate (DHAP) is an important intermediate in both lipid biosynthesis and glycolysis. In glycolysis, fructose-1,6- diphosphate is converted to dydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) by aldolase. Both DHAP and GAP serve as the intracellular pool for triose phosphate. DHAP can be further converted into GAP by Triose Phosphate Isomerase (TPI).
In humans, TPI deficiency is a rare autosomal disease. It causes hemolytic anemia, neurological diseases, and even death due to blockage of the glycolytic pathway and accumulation of DHAP in erythrocytes.
