trehalose 6-phosphate

Trehalose 6-phosphate potassium salt hydrate (α,α-Trehalose 6-phosphate potassium salt hydrate) is a Trehalose derivative, an intermediate in trehalose biosynthesis, and an important signaling metabolite in plants. It can regulate root branching through the master kinase SNF1-related kinase-1 (SnRK1) and rapamycin target (TOR).

α,α-Trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) potassium is an intrinsic 6-phosphate derivative of α,α′-trehalose that acts as an intermediary metabolite, undergoing enzymatic conversion to the final metabolic product, α,α′-trehalose, via the enzyme Tre6P phosphatase (T6PP) [1].
