Protein
Glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the oxidative pentose-phosphate pathway, which represents a route for the dissimilation of carbohydrates besides glycolysis. The main function of this enzyme is to provide reducing power (NADPH) and pentose phosphates for fatty acid and nucleic acid synthesis (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase family.
