1. Aldolase B converts it into glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone phosphate ( DHAP ). 2. Hence, this enzyme has one products, dihydroxyacetone phosphate and formaldehyde. 3. When dihydroxyacetone phosphate is produced, glyceroneogenesis will branch off from gluconeogenesis. 4. The third enzyme reduces the dihydroxyacetone to glycerol, a type of sugar. 5. Glyceraldehyde is a structural isomer of dihydroxyacetone . 6. In the 1950s, Eva Wittgenstein at the University of Cincinnati did further research with dihydroxyacetone . 7. The enzyme is used in the first step in turning glycerol into dihydroxyacetone phosphate ( DHAP ). 8. A typical rearrangement reaction is that between the aldose glyceraldehyde and the ketose dihydroxyacetone in a chemical equilibrium. 9. GPD1 consists of two subunits, and reacts with dihydroxyacetone phosphate and NAD + though the following interaction: 10. It is used in some self-tanning cosmetics, in general, combined with dihydroxyacetone ( DHA ).
