General description

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) localizes to the cytoplasm but can be translocated to the nucleus depending on cellular conditions. It is a tetramer containing identical chains. The gene encoding GAPDH is localized on human chromosome 12p13.

Application

Human glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase has been used as a positive control for hydrogen sulfide treatment to detect sulfhydration of protein targets.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) catalyzes the reversible oxidative phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-phosphate, which is a critical energy-yielding step in carbohydrate metabolism. It binds to several proteins including actin, tubulin, amyloid precursor, polyglutamine peptides, DRPLA (dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy) and huntingtin. Phosphorylated GAPDH associates with cytoskeletal elements and controls microtubule dynamics in the early secretory pathway. GAPDH is also a component of the functional GAIT (interferon-?-activated inhibitor of translation) mRNP (messenger ribonucleoprotein). GAPDH expression is dysregulated during melanoma progression.

Physical form

This product is recombinant, human GAPDH expressed in E. coli with an N-terminal histidine tag and has a predicted molecular mass of 37,984 Da. The product is lyophilized from a buffered solution with stabilizers.

The cytosolic glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH, EC 1.2.1.12, GapC) plays an important role in glycolysis by providing the cell with ATP and NADH. Interestingly, despite its glycolytic function in the cytosol, GAPDH was reported to possess additional non-glycolytic activities, correlating with
