Test Principle: Glycerol kinase (GK) is a rate-limiting enzyme in glycerol metabolism, and the lack of this enzyme directly results in the inability of cells to utilize glycerol. This kit produces hydrogen peroxide under the action of glycerophosphate oxidase. The reaction between hydrogen peroxide and the chromogenic agent has the maximum absorption peak at 555 nm. The enzyme activity of GK can be determined by measuring the increase rate at 555 nm.
