 Use of Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase


Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is the rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is a major source of NADPH that is required by many essential cellular systems including the antioxidant pathways, nitric oxide synthase, NADPH oxidase, cytochrome p450 system, and others. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase can be used for the research of diabetes, aldosterone-induced endothelial dysfunction, and cancer[1].
