Description | This entry represents NAD-dependent glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (Glc6PDH, encoded by zwf for zwischenferment) from archaea.Haloferax volcanii Glc6PDH is involved in the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPPP). It catalyses the NAD-dependent oxidation of glucose 6-phosphate (Glc6P) to 6-phosphogluconolactone [ ]. It is a homodimeric enzyme of 32kDa subunits, catalysing the NAD+ specific oxidation of Glc6P. Interestingly, it is not related to the classical Glc6PDH of the OPPP in bacteria and eukarya []. | Name | NAD-dependent glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, archaea |
