Product Description: ADP-Glucose disodiumIs an immediate precursor for the biosynthesis of storage polysaccharides in plants, green algae and cyanobacteria, and structural polysaccharides in some bacteria, by the addition of glucose. It is used to produce amylose, amylopectin, starch and other polysaccharides by amylose synthase or starch synthase in plastids. ADPGUsually produced in plastids, although it can be biosynthesized in the cytoplasm of some grasses and imported into plastids by membrane-bound transporters[1][2].
