Application

Adenosine-5′-diphosphoglucose (ADP-Glucose) is a substrate widely used as a glucose donor. It is a substrate in starch synthesis by starch synthase (EC 2.4.1.21). ADP-Glucose is a substrate for alpha-1,4-glucan-protein synthase (ADP-forming) (EC 2.4.1.113), ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylases and many glucosyltransferases.

Adenosine-5′-diphosphoglucose disodium salt has been used as a component of the reaction mixture to measure the enzymatic activity of adenosine-5′-diphosphate (ADP)-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) and for the synthesis of starch.
