A key step in the biosynthesis of triglycerides (fats) is the conversion of glycerol to glycerol-1-phosphate by ATP: Glycerol + ATP glycerol-1-phosphate + ADP

A key step in the biosynthesis of triglycerides (fats) is the conversion of glycerol to glycerol-1-phosphate by ATP: Glycerol + ATP → glycerol-1-phosphate + ADP At a steady state in the living cell, [ATP] = 10-3 M and [ADP] = 10-4 M. The maximum (equilibrium) value of the ratio [glycerol-1-p]/[glycerol] is observed to be 770 at 25ºC and pH 7.
