GAPDH

SYNONYMS
G3PD, GAPD, MGC88685, GAPDH, Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase.

INTRODUCTION
GAPDH is a catalytic enzyme normally known to play a role in glycolysis. GAPDH exists as a tetramer composed of 36-kDa subunits and has a range of intracellular functions. GAPDH catalyzes the reversible reduction of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphophate in the presence of NADPH. Besides functioning as a glycolytic enzyme in cytoplasm, GAPDH has function in intracellular processes such as membrane fusion, microtubule bundling, phosphotransferase activity, nuclear RNA export, DNA replication and DNA repair. GAPDH catalyzes a vital energy-yielding step in carbohydrate metabolism, the reversible oxidative phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate in the presence of inorganic phosphate and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). The enzyme exists as a tetramer of identical chains.

DESCRIPTION
GAPDH Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 335 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 36kDa.
The GAPDH is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
