Application
β-Glycerophosphate is a classical serine-threonine phosphatase inhibitor used in kinase reaction buffers.1 BGP is often used in combination with other phosphatase/protease inhibitors for broad spectrum inhibition.2,3 It functions as an organic phosphate donor4 and has been used in culture media for mesenchymal stem cell differentiation to osteoblast-type cells.5,6 BGP is also used to buffer M17 media for Lactococcus culture in recombinant protein expression.7,8
Initiates differentiation of bone-marrow-derived stem cells embedded in a natural collagen/chitosan gel designed for tissue engineering.
