Also acts slowly on beta-D-glucose and other sugars. Certain preparations reduce NAD+ as well as NADP+.

"Furthermore, the activity and transcript level of the lipogenic enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, the rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway, were also about 2-fold higher than that of the wild-type; these data corroborate the flux analysis results." (18029214)

"The principal intracellular reductant NADPH is mainly produced by the pentose phosphate pathway by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), the rate-limiting enzyme, and by 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase." (10329961)

key enzyme;

"Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), the key enzyme of the hexose-monophosphate shunt pathway, is an essential enzyme involved in both cell growth and cholesterol metabolism, raising the question as to whether G6PD deficiency may have metabolic and growth implications in a deficient population." (12027950)

phosphorylation;

"Time-resolved mass spectrometry of tyrosine phosphorylation sites in the epidermal growth factor receptor signaling network reveals dynamic modules." (15951569#15592455)

regulatory enzyme;

"We review here some recent data about glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), the first and key regulatory enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway." (8760336)

transcriptional factor;CREB(1385)

"We have shown two distinct CREB-responsive sites in the glucose-6-phosphatase gene promoter that are responding to a constitutively active CREB or elevated concentrations of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase in the nucleus." (15659240)

Defects in G6PD are the cause of chronic non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia (CNSHA) [MIM:305900]. Deficiency of G6PD is associated with hemolytic anemia in two different situations. First, in areas in which malaria has been endemic, G6PD-deficiency alleles have reached high frequencies (1% to 50%) and deficient individuals, though essentially asymptomatic in the steady state, have a high risk of acute hemolytic attacks. Secondly, sporadic cases of G6PD deficiency occur at a very low frequencies, and they usually present a more severe phenotype. Several types of CNSHA are recognized. Class-I variants are associated with severe NSHA;
class-II have an activity <10% of normal;
class-III have an activity of 10% to 60% of normal;
class-IV have near normal activity [P11413 ];
