Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)
Cofactors used
Clinical / pharmacological. G6PD deficiency: oxidative haemolysis, Heinz bodies, bite cells, favism
What it does, reaction by reaction
Pentose Phosphate Pathway (Oxidative and Non-oxidative phases) Carbohydrate Metabolism · Cytosol
Glucose-6-phosphate + NADP+ → 6-phosphoglucono-delta-lactone + NADPH + H+
Converts Glucose-6-phosphate NADP+ into 6-Phosphoglucono-delta-lactone NADPH H+
› Notes
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) uses NADP+ and is the first, rate-limiting, committed, and irreversible oxidative PPP reaction. It generates the first NADPH and is stimulated by a high NADP+/NADPH ratio.
