Biochem/physiol Actions

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate as part of glycolysis. It has also been shown to have roles in initiation of apoptosis, transcription activation and the shuttling of ER to Golgi vesicles<<<,New>>>.

Unit Definition

One unit will reduce 1.0 μmole of 3-phosphoglycerate to D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate per min in a coupled system with 3-phosphoglyceric phosphokinase at pH 7.6 at 25 °C.

Physical form

Lyophilized, sulfate-free powder stabilized with trehalose, citrate, and DTT. Useful for systems requiring low sulfate.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a pleiotropic enzyme that is overexpressed in apoptosis and in several human chronic pathologies. Here, we report that the protein accumulates in mitochondria during apoptosis, and induces the pro-apoptotic mitochondrial membrane permeabilization, a decisive event of

Although the classical redox functions of co-enzyme NAD(+) are firmly established in metabolism, there are numerous enzymes that catalyze cleavage of NAD(+) to yield free ADP-ribose (ADPr) or related metabolites, whose functions remain largely unknown. Here we show that the

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is an important enzyme in the glycolytic pathway. In addition to its conventional metabolic role, GAPDH has been identified to possess diverse cellular functions. In this study, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 3, the third isoform of GAPDH from Saccharomyces
