Date of Experiment: Introduction
Glucose-6-phosphase (G6Pase) is an enzyme presented in liver and used in the hydrolysis of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P). This catalyst the final step in glycogeneogeneis and glycogenolysis which is the key point of homeostatic regulating the blood glucose levels in our bodies.
In the experiment, we will determine the activity of G6Pase. Frist, we will extract the G6Pase from pig liver sample. Then, we will assay for the liver G6Pase by enzymatic digestion and phosphate determination. Finally, we will measure the amount of protein present in the G6Pase by the Bradford test and compare with the standard curve. We will also calculate the purity of the extracted enzyme according to the activity per unit protein.
