Editing Glyceraldehyde (section)

== Biochemistry ==
The enzyme [[glycerol dehydrogenase (NADP+)|glycerol dehydrogenase (NADP<sup>+</sup>)]] has two substrates, [[glycerol]] and [[Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate|NADP<sup>+</sup>]], and 3 products, D-glyceraldehyde, [[Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate|NADPH]] and [[Hydron (chemistry)|H+]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Kormann|first1=Alfred W.|last2=Hurst|first2=Robert O.|last3=Flynn|first3=T.G.|title=Purification and properties of an NADP+-dependent glycerol dehydrogenase from rabbit skeletal muscle|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/0005274472909655|journal=Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Enzymology|year=1972|language=en|volume=258|issue=1|pages=40–55|doi=10.1016/0005-2744(72)90965-5|pmid=4400494}}</ref>

The interconversion of the phosphates of glyceraldehyde ([[glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate]]) and [[dihydroxyacetone]] ([[dihydroxyacetone phosphate]]), catalyzed by the [[enzyme]] [[triosephosphate isomerase]], is an intermediate step in [[glycolysis]].
