Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase
Description Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common human enzyme deficiency that mainly affects the red blood cells (RBCs). A defect in G6PD enzyme leads to the destruction of premature RBCs causing hemolytic anemia because the body can not compensate the destroyed RBCs. Thus, the affected individuals show jaundice (paleness, yellowing of the skin and whites of th...
متن کاملThe regulation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in chloroplasts.
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from intact pea chloroplasts is partially membrane bound and inactivated upon illumination. The inhibitory effect of light can be abolished by addition of methylviologen. Kinetic experiments with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase reveal that, in the dark, the enzyme activity is strongly inhibited by the accumulation of NADPH. The inhibition of NADPH can be reve...
متن کاملRegulation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in human erythrocytes.
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase catalyzes the initial and committed step of the pathway that is the principal source of NADPH in many cells. The intracellular rate of the enzyme in human erythrocytes was estimated from the rate at which the cells generated 14CO2 from 14C-labeled glucose in the presence of different amounts of methylene blue. This investigation differed from earlier studies in...
متن کاملRegulation of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase in blue-green algae.
Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) has been partially purified from Anacystis nidulans and Anabaena flos-aquae by means of ammonium sulfate fractionation and exclusion gel chromatography and the kinetic properties determined.Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase from these blue-green algae exhibits Michaelis-Menten kinetics at pH 6.7. At this pH, Km values of 0.37 mm for glucose 6-phos...
متن کاملGlucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency and Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia
Background: Jaundice is affecting over 60-80 percent of neonates in the first week of life. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, which is an important cause of pathologic hyperbilirubinemia, can lead to hemolytic anemia, jaundice and kernicterus. The present study was performed to determine the prevalence of G6PD deficiency among icteric neonates in Shirvan, Iran. Methods: This...
