Human G6PD (Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase) CLIA Kit

Glucose-6-Phosphate 1-Dehydrogenase; G6pd

Uniprot ID: PPBT_HUMAN ; Reactome: R-HSA-5628897 ; Gene ID: 2539

Tissue Specificity: Isoform Long is found in lymphoblasts, granulocytes and sperm.

Function: Cytosolic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase that catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step of the oxidative branch within the pentose phosphate pathway/shunt, an alternative route to glycolysis for the dissimilation of carbohydrates and a major source of reducing power and metabolic intermediates for fatty acid and nucleic acid biosynthetic processes.
