Description | This entry represents the C-terminal domain of glucose dehydrogenase.Glucose 1 dehydrogenase ( ) belongs to the medium-chain alcohol dehydrogenase superfamily and requires zinc for catalysis [ , ]. It catalyses the NAD(P)(+)-dependent oxidation of D-glucose to D-gluconate via gluconolactone. It is involved in the degradation of glucose through a modified version of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway in Halobacteria [] and a non-phosphorylative variant of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway in other organisms.This entry includes a group of glucose 1 dehydrogenases from archaea. | Name | Glucose dehydrogenase, C-terminal |
