Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) (AA 1-491) (Active) protein
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. G6PD converts glucose-6-phosphate into 6-phosphogluconolactone 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 cause acute hemolytic anemia. Recombinant G6PD protein was expressed in E. coli and purified by conventional chromatography techniques. Alternative Names: Glucose 6 phosphate 1 dehydrogenase protein, G6PD1 protein, zwf protein, GPD 6, Glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase G6PD protein, Glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase protein, G6PD, POS10 protein, GPD-6, GPD-6 protein, MET19 protein, GPD 6 protein, G6pdx protein, Zwf1p.
