Related Product Information for DL-Glyceraldehyde biochemical
Glyceraldehyde is produced from the action of the enzyme glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase which converts glycerol to glyceraldehyde using NADP as a cofactor. When present at sufficiently high levels glyceraldehyde can be a cytotoxin and a mutagen. A cytotoxin is a compound that kills cells. A mutagen is a compound that causes mutations in DNA. Glyceraldehyde is a highly reactive compound that can modify and cross-link proteins. Glyceraldehyde-modified proteins appear to be cytotoxic depress intracellular glutathione levels and induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production (PMID: 14981296). Glyceraldehyde has been shown to cause chromosome damage to human cells in culture and is mutagenic in the Ames bacterial test.

Product Notes
The DL-Glyceraldehyde (Catalog #AAA3609669) is a Biochemical and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "DL-Glyceraldehyde, Biochemical" 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
