Protein
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1
Organism
Staphylococcus epidermidis (strain ATCC 35984 / RP62A)
Function
Catalyzes the oxidative phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) using the cofactor NAD. The first reaction step involves the formation of a hemiacetal intermediate between G3P and a cysteine residue, and this hemiacetal intermediate is then oxidized to a thioester, with concomitant reduction of NAD to NADH. The reduced NADH is then exchanged with the second NAD, and the thioester is attacked by a nucleophilic inorganic phosphate to produce BPG.
Similarity
Belongs to the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase family.
