Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a cytoplasmic enzyme with an important function in cell oxidative damage prevention. Erythrocytes have a predisposition towards oxidized environments due to their lack of mitochondria, giving G6PD a major role in its stability. G6PD deficiency (G6PDd) is ...
Incubation of rat liver microsomes with ATP and Mg2+ in the absence or presence of an exogenous protein kinase showed no changes in the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase (D-glucose-6-phosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.9). These observations confirm the recent findings of the Burchells and co...
The purpose of the present study was to localize glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) activity in the human placenta at various gestational stages and to compare them to pre-eclamptic placenta activity. Ultrastructural enzyme-histochemical analysis of G6Pase was performed using cerium and lead as captur...

the enzyme G6PD oxidizes glucose-6-phosphate producing NADPH to provide reducing equivalents for the antioxidant defense, namely, to maintain a high intracellular GSH/GSSG ratio [1]. Thyrocytes possess an efficient antioxidant system, able to modulate the continuous production of hydrogen peroxide, whic...
We have cloned an open reading frame from theEscherichia coli K-12 chromosome that had been assumed earlier to be a transaldolase or a transaldolase-related protein, termed MipB. Here we show that instead a novel enzyme activity, fructose-6-phosphate aldolase, is encoded by this open reading ...
falciparum enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydro- genase-6-phosphogluconolactonase (PfGluPho) (Figure S2D). Using both recombinant PfGluPho as well as parasite lysate, we found that Darapladib did not inhibit the essential glucose- 6-phosphate de...
Benzaldehyde, the simplest aromatic aldehyde, is one of the most wide-spread volatiles that serves as a pollinator attractant, flavor, and antifungal compound. However, the enzyme responsible for its formation in plants remains unknown. Using a combinati
To solve the question regarding the inhibition of the enzyme hexokinase by excess glucose 6-phosphate, we can follow these steps:Step 1: Understand the Role of Hexokinase Hexokinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of
