Sucrose metabolism plays a crucial role in energy production, carbon partitioning, and sugar transport. It is therefore essential for cellular function, growth and development in plants.

Using Agrisera antibodies, proteins involved in various stages of this process can be tracked. 

Sucrose breakdown involves an enzyme called sucrase (invertase), which cleaves sucrose into the monosaccharides glucose and fructose.

Sucrose biosynthesis occurs primarily in the cytoplasm of photosynthetic cells, and involves the enzymes sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) and sucrose phosphate phosphatase (SPP). These enzymes are involved in the production of sucrose, which can then be transported to other plant tissues for storage or energy utilization.
