Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP): Wide application prospects in multiple fields
Release time:
2025-09-02
PEP, also known as phosphoenolpyruvate, is a very important substance in all life activities. It is not only a key participant in cellular respiration and photosynthesis, but also has broad application prospects in modern biotechnology, medical testing, and organ preservation. It participates in various biochemical processes such as cellular respiration and photosynthesis. This article will explore the specific applications of PEP reagents in these fields and introduce their advantages as components of reagent kits.

PEP and Carbon Dioxide Measurement
In the chloroplasts of plants, PEP absorbs carbon dioxide and converts it into oxaloacetate through the action of PEP carboxylase (also known as carboxykinase), which forms the cornerstone of photosynthesis. Due to its high efficiency in immobilizing CO2, PEP carboxylase has become an ideal tool for measuring serum carbon dioxide levels. By utilizing this enzymatic reaction, the concentration of trace amounts of carbon dioxide in serum or plasma samples can be accurately measured, providing critical data support for clinical diagnosis.
Determination of PEP carboxylase activity
In addition to directly measuring carbon dioxide levels, PEP can also be used to evaluate PEP carboxylase activity in plant samples or blood products. This test is crucial for studying plant physiology, environmental adaptability, and metabolic changes. By comparing the changes in enzyme activity under different conditions, researchers can obtain important information about plant health status or pathological processes, which can help promote the development of agricultural science and medicine.
Cell protectants and antioxidants
During cellular respiration, PEP participates in the final stage of glycolysis, ultimately converting to pyruvate. This process plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining energy balance within cells. When it comes to organ transplantation, the appropriate addition of PEP can help slow down the damage to tissue cells caused by oxidative stress during refrigeration, and reduce the rate of ATP consumption, thereby prolonging organ survival time and improving the success rate of transplantation. In addition, PEP salt substances also perform well in carbon dioxide determination and enzyme activity analysis, becoming an indispensable part of the development of related reagent kits.
