SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBaker's yeast
DescriptionDihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is an important intermediate in lipid biosynthesis and in glycolysis. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate is one of the two products of breakdown of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, along with glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. It is rapidly and reversibly isomerised to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. DHAP is also the product of the dehydrogenation of L-glycerol-3-phosphate, which is part of the entry of glycerol (sourced from triglycerides) into the glycolytic pathway. [Wikipedia]
