General description
G-6-PDH catalyzes the NADP+(or NAD+)-dependent oxidation of D-glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phospho-D-glucono-1,5-lactone. This reaction is the rate limiting step of the pentose phosphate pathway.
Yeast G-6-PDH is often used as a loading control in several immunoassays.
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a cytosolic enzyme. It synthesizes NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). The G6PD gene is located on human chromosome X. It spans 18.5 kb and has 13 exons.
The product is specific for G-6-PDH as determined by immunoelectrophoresis. No reaction is observed with other proteins in a crude Baker′s yeast extract.
Immunogen
G-6-PDH from Baker′s yeast S. cerevisiae.
Application
Anti-Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) antibody has been used to detect the immunoreactive mass of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). It has also been used in western blotting.
Rabbit Anti-Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) antibody has been used for western blot assays. The antibody can also be used for indirect ELISA (1:15,000-1:30,000) and immunoelectrophoresis.
Yeast cell extracts were analyzed by western blot and equal loading was determined by probing with rabbit anti-Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase antibody.
Biochem/physiol Actions
NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), produced by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is an electron donor molecule, that helps in neutralizing harmful oxidizing agents. Deficiency in G6PD shows symptoms, that includes neonatal jaundice and acute episodic hemolysis. This enzyme guards the red blood cells against oxidative challenges.
