Background: Gluconokinase (GntK or ATP:D-gluconate 6-phosphotransferase or Gluconate Kinase; EC:2.7.1.12) is a key enzyme for Gluconate degradation pathway. In E. coli and yeast, Gluconokinase can convert gluconate into 6-Phosphate-D-Gluconate in an ATP dependent manner. Through Hexose Monophosphate Shunt (HMS) pathway, 6-Phosphate-D-Gluconate generates ribose-6-phosphate, which is critical for nucleotides and nucleic acid synthesis. Little is known of the mechanism of gluconate metabolism in humans despite its widespread use in medicine and consumer products. MyBioSource's Gluconokinase Assay kit provides a quick and easy way for monitoring Gluconokinase activity in a variety of samples. In this kit, Gluconokinase converts Gluconate into 6-Phosphate-D-Gluconate in an ATP dependent manner. 6-Phosphate-D-Gluconate and ADP in turn undergoe a series of reactions to form an intermediate, which reacts with the probe to form a colored product with strong absorbance (OD 450 nm). The assay is simple, sensitive, and high-throughput adaptable. Detection limit: < 0.1mU.

Product Notes
The Gluconokinase (GntK) (Catalog #AAA841660) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Measurement of GntK activity in various samples Mechanistic study of Pentose Phosphate Pathway. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Gluconokinase (GntK) for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Gluconokinase (GntK), Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
