(Rac)-sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate（Cat No.:I044128）is a racemic mixture of the sn-isomer of glycerol 3-phosphate, a key intermediate in lipid metabolism and glycolysis. It serves as a precursor for the biosynthesis of triglycerides and phospholipids and plays a vital role in the glycerophosphate shuttle, which transfers reducing equivalents into mitochondria. Commonly used in biochemical and metabolic studies, (Rac)-sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate aids in exploring pathways of energy production, lipid storage, and membrane synthesis. It is also valuable in enzymatic assays involving glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and related metabolic research applications.
