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.

Cofactor specificities of glycolytic enzymes in Clostridium thermocellum were studied with cellobiose-grown cells from batch cultures. Intracellular glucose was phosphorylated by glucokinase using GTP rather than ATP. Although phosphofructokinase typically uses ATP as a phosphoryl donor, we found only pyrophosphate

During initial development, both X chromosomes are active in females, and one of them must be silenced at the appropriate time in order to dosage compensate their gene expression levels to male counterparts. Silencing involves epigenetic mechanisms, including histone deacetylation.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) inhibits glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) of different species and may potentially decrease intracellular glutathione. Therefore, it can have and enhance anti-parasitic action against Plasmodium spp. We evaluated the antiplasmodial activity and the interaction of DHEA with several antimalarial

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the most common deficient enzyme in the world. In failing hearts, G6PD is upregulated and generates reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) that is used by the glutathione pathway to remove reactive oxygen species but
