Glycerol 3-phosphate is an organophosphate derived from the reaction catalysed by glycerol kinase (or ATP:glycerol 3-phosphotransferase) where ATP + glycerol ADP + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. It is a component of glycerophospholipids. It should not be confused with the similarly named glycerate 3-phosphate or glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. The L-configuration is the active enantiomer.
