General description

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is an X-linked essential enzyme that protects cells from oxidative stress, particularly red blood cells.

Application

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was used to study atypical glycolysis in Clostridium thermocellum.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) catalyzes the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phosphogluconolacetone as the first step in the pentose phosphate pathway.

Physical form

Supplied in 3.2M ammonium sulfate containing 50mM Tris and 1mM magnesium chloride, pH 7.5

Other Notes

One unit will oxidize 1.0 μmole of D-glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phospho-D-gluconate per minute in the presence of NAD at pH 7.8 at 30°C
