General description
Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-P-DH) is a key regulatory enzyme in the first step of the pentose phosphate pathway. G-6-P-DH is a glycoprotein with a molecular mass of 128 kDa (gel filtration).
Application
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is used to test ketose reductase activity in developing maize endosperm.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phosphogluconolacetone as the first step in the pentose phosphate pathway<<<17>>>.
