| General description: | Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a ubiquitous enzyme which acts as a catalyst in producing pentose. It also produces NADPH for various biosynthetic and detoxification reactions. Sometimes G6PD provides an alternative to main glycolytic pathway for glucose utilization. It also has its application as DNA markers on X-chromosome.1 |
