Description
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, Leuconostoc mesenteroides is used to convert p-glucose-6-phosphate to p-glucono-d-lactone-6-phosphate in presence of NADP+ or NAD+. It is used as an intermediate, chemical and research purpose and also used fo analysis.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
General Description
- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, derived from Leuconostoc mesenteroides, is a cytosolic enzyme used to convert p-glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phosphogluconolactone
- This enzyme can use either NAD or NADP+ as an electron acceptor to promote this conversion
Application
- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase belongs to the pentose phosphate pathway, a metabolic pathway that supplies reducing energy to cells, including erythrocytes, by maintaining the level of the co-enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)
- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase can be used to measure hexose in solution
- It is used as an intermediate for chemical and research purposes
- It is used as a model to test the effect of seed protein fractions on enzyme protection during dehydration
- It has been used in assays for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and tissue pyridine nucleotides
