Uses
Glycerol Dehydrogenase (GDH) from
Cellulomonas sp. has been used in the determination of glycerol by sequential injection analysis (SIA) method. It has also been used in the preparation of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) based biosensor for the determination of glycerol.
General Description
Glycerol Dehydrogenase belongs to iron-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family. It is made up of eight identical subunits which are about 42,000 Da each. The C-terminal has histidine and the N-terminal has serine amino acid.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glycerol dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of glycerol to glycerone.
