6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase
text:
6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) is an enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway. It forms ribulose 5-phosphate from 6-phosphogluconate:
- 6-phospho-D-gluconate + NAD(P)+ ⇌ D-Ribulose 5-phosphate + CO2 + NAD(P)H + H+ It is an oxidative carboxylase that catalyses the oxidative decarboxylation of 6-phosphogluconate into ribulose 5-phosphate in the presence of NADP. This reaction is a component of the hexose mono-phosphate shunt and pentose phosphate pathways (PPP). Prokaryotic and eukaryoti
