Determination of Significance:
Triose phosphate isomerase is an important glycolytic enzyme, which is widely present in animals, plants and microorganisms. Triose phosphate isomerase participates in glucose metabolism in the body. Triose phosphate isomerase plays an important role in glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, fatty acid biosynthesis and pentose phosphate metabolism.
Measurement Principle:
Triose phosphate isomerase converts dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and NAD generate 3-phosphoglycerate and NADH under the action of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The change in absorbance at 340nm reflects the activity of triose phosphate isomerase.
