It plays an important role in catalyzing the oxidative decarboxylation of 6-phosphogluconate to ribulose 5-phosphate producing NADPH in the process. PGD expression occurs in various tissues with notably high levels in liver and red blood cells (RBCs). Alternative names include 6PGD and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase with its corresponding gene expressed across eukaryotic organisms.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe enzyme 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase is essential in cellular metabolism and redox homeostasis. It functions as part of the pentose phosphate pathway a metabolic route critical for the generation of NADPH and ribose 5-phosphate. NADPH is necessary for biosynthetic reactions and in protecting cells against oxidative stress. 6PGD operates as a homodimer and is not part of a larger protein complex enabling it to perform its functions independently within the cell.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nPGD stands as a major component of the pentose phosphate pathway alongside glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). This pathway is significant for providing reducing power and pentose phosphates for anabolic reactions. Both 6-phosphogluconate and G6PD assist in the proper functioning of this pathway facilitating the balance of NADP+\/NADPH. The pathway intricately connects to glycolysis enabling the cells to adapt to fluctuations in metabolic demands through intermediates that interconvert between these pathways.\u003cbr\u003e\nAltered activity of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase links to genetic disorders like hemolytic anemia. The pentose phosphate pathway's impairment particularly due to deficiency in PGD or its associated protein G6PD exacerbates anemia under oxidative stress. Additionally PGD overexpression has associations with many cancers as elevated NADPH production supports tumor survival and resistance. Understanding the role of PGD in these conditions helps in recognizing the importance of this enzyme in maintaining cellular health and adapting to disease challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46860386140329,"sku":"ab248347","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab248347","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
