PGD, Active

SYNONYMS
EC 1.1.1.44, 6PGD, PGDH, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase decarboxylating, PGD.

INTRODUCTION
6PGD is the 2nd dehydrogenase in the pentose phosphate shift. Pentose is crucial for the biosynthesis of nucleic acid. The pentose phosphate cycle is a prominent source of NADPH. 6PGD deficiency is mostly asymptomatic, and the inheritance of this deasis is autosomal dominant. PGD deficiency elevate the erythrocyte pyruvate kinase levels of activity & decreases glutathione synthetase, which causes hemolysis.

DESCRIPTION
PGD Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 503 amino acids (1-483) and having a molecular mass of 55.3 kDa.
PGD Human is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
