Rabbit Polyclonal GLPK3 Antibody

The GLPK3 antibody is designed to target glycerol kinase 3 (GK3), an enzyme encoded by the *GK3* gene, which plays a role in glycerol metabolism by catalyzing the conversion of glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate. This reaction is critical for cellular energy production and lipid biosynthesis. Glycerol kinase deficiencies are associated with metabolic disorders, making GK3 a subject of interest in metabolic disease research. The GLPK3 antibody is primarily used in biochemical assays, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence, to detect GK3 expression levels in tissues or cell lines. Researchers employ it to study GK3's regulatory mechanisms, tissue-specific distribution, and potential involvement in conditions like hyperglycerolemia or mitochondrial dysfunction. Recent studies have also explored GK3's interaction with other metabolic enzymes, shedding light on its role in energy homeostasis. While GK3 is less characterized than its isoform GK1. the GLPK3 antibody serves as a vital tool for elucidating its biological functions and potential therapeutic implications in metabolic syndromes, obesity, or rare inherited disorders linked to glycerol kinase activity.
