Protein
Glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase, cytoplasmic isoform
Organism
Solanum tuberosum
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 generate NADPH for reductive biosyntheses.
Similarity
Belongs to the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase family.
