PEP Powder

Phosphoenolpyruvate tris (cyclohexylamine) salt, abbreviated as PEP, is a chemical substance that plays an important role in life activities. Its molecular formula is C21H44N306P, CAS number 35556-70-8, and molecular weight is approximately 465.56. As a white powder, PEP is stable at room temperature, easily soluble in water, and has a purity of over 99%. It has good water solubility and process stability.

Due to its importance as an intermediate product in the field of biochemistry, phosphoenolpyruvate is involved in various biochemical processes. Whether in the animal and plant kingdom, or in cellular respiration and photosynthesis, PEP plays a crucial role.

1. Participate in metabolic processes and cellular respiration: During cellular respiration, PEP participates as a key intermediate in the glycolysis pathway, where it loses one phosphate group and converts to pyruvate. This process helps to break down glucose molecules into energy and metabolites for the normal functioning and survival of cells.

2. Photosynthesis: In some plants, especially C4 plants, PEP also plays an important role. In the photosynthesis of C4 plants, PEP is involved in an important metabolic process called the C4 pathway. In this pathway, PEP immobilizes carbon dioxide (CO2) under the action of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, converting it into oxaloacetate. Compared to the Rubisco enzyme in traditional photosynthesis pathways, PEP carboxylase has a higher efficiency in fixing CO2. Therefore, C4 plants can better adapt to harsh environmental conditions such as high temperature and low CO2, and are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions.

From the above, phosphoenolpyruvate tris (cyclohexylamine) salt (PEP) plays a crucial role as an important chemical in biochemical processes such as cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

The metabolic pathways it participates in not only provide energy for organisms, but also optimize the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants. Of course, the role of PEP is not limited to this. Due to its ability to absorb carbon dioxide and its cellular glycolytic properties, many applications are gradually being developed. The PEP tricyclohexylamine salt provided by Desheng not only has high purity, but also strong stability. It is mainly used in CO2 determination and PEP carboxylase activity assay kits at a favorable price. If you have any relevant intentions, you can contact us anytime to make a purchase!
