Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, Microorganism

• CAT Number: I042670
• CAS Number: 9001-40-5
• Purity: ≥95%

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, Microorganism is the rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is a major source of NADPH that is required by many essential cellular systems including the antioxidant pathways, nitric oxide synthase, NADPH oxidase, cytochrome p450 system, and others. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase can be used for the research of diabetes, aldosterone-induced endothelial dysfunction, and cancer[1].
