General description

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway, a metabolic pathway that supplies reducing energy to cells by maintaining the level of NADPH.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) converts glucose-6-phosphate into 6-phosphoglucono-delta-lactone and simultaneously produces NADPH. The NADPH in turn maintains the level of glutathione in these cells that helps protect the red blood cells against oxidative damage. G6PD deficiency causes acute hemolytic anemia.

Physical form

1 mg/mL solution in 50 mM MES pH 6.0, 0.1 mM PMSF, 2 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM DTT and 10% glycerol.

Preparation Note

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD; EC 1.1.1.49) deficiency is a common genetic abnormality affecting an estimated 400 million people worldwide. Clinical and biochemical analyses have identified many variants exhibiting a range of phenotypes, which have been well characterized from the hematological point

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway. Many scientists think that the roles and regulation of G6PD in physiology and pathophysiology have been well established as the enzyme was first identified 80 years ago. And
