Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
catalytic activity:ATP + glycerol = ADP + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate.,function:Key enzyme in the regulation of glycerol uptake and metabolism.,pathway:Polyol metabolism; glycerol degradation via glycerol kinase pathway; sn-glycerol 3-phosphate from glycerol: step 1/1.,similarity:Belongs to the FGGY kinase family.,subcellular location:In sperm the majority of the enzyme is bound to mitochondria.,
