EN
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction D-glucose 6-phosphate + NADP+ + H2O ⇌ 6-phospho-D-glucono-1,5-lactone + NADPH + H+This enzyme participates in the pentose phosphate pathway, a metabolic pathway that supplies reducing energy to cells by maintaining the level of the co-enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
