Gene names: G6PD
Protein names and data: G6PD_HUMAN , Glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase; G6PD; 1.1.1.49 Lenght: 515 a.a.
Mass: 59257 Da
fasta formatted sequence

Function: Catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the oxidative pentose-phosphate pathway, which represents a route for the dissimilation of carbohydrates besides glycolysis. The main function of this enzyme is to provide reducing power (NADPH) and pentose phosphates for fatty acid and nucleic acid synthesis.
Catalytic activity: D-glucose 6-phosphate + NADP(+) = 6-phospho-D- glucono-1,5-lactone + NADPH.
Pathway: Carbohydrate degradation; pentose phosphate pathway; D- ribulose 5-phosphate from D-glucose 6-phosphate (oxidative stage): step 1/3.
Disease:
Tissue specificity: Isoform Long is found in lymphoblasts, granulocytes and sperm.
