General description

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is an enzyme encoded by X-linked gene, also called as housekeeping gene in mammals. This gene is localized on the distal long arm of the X chromosome q28, with 13 exons spanning 20kb. This enzyme is a dimer and each monomer contains 515 amino acids with a molecular weight of 59,256Da. The active enzyme occurs in a dimeric form with bound NADP. The binding site for NADP is located at amino acid 205.

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) plays a major role in metabolism because it catalyses the first step in the hexose monophosphate pathway (HMP). It oxidizes glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phosphogluconolactone, reducing NADP to NADPH and thus, protects the RBC from oxidative damage. Mutation in the G6PD gene leads to the G6PD deficiency which causes haemolytic anaemia.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
