Product Description: Glycerol kinase, Cellulomonas sp. (EC 2.7.1.30) is a bacterial sugar kinase, is often used in biochemical studies. Glycerol kinase, Cellulomonas sp. catalyzes the first step of glycerol metabolism by transforming the triol into glycerol-3-P (G3P). Glycerol kinase, Cellulomonas sp. is crucial for regulating channel/facilitator-independent uptake of glycerol into the cell[1].
