Letter: Glucose-6-phosphate deficiency and inhibition by NADPH: a self-contradictory argument.

Molecular Identification of the Most Prevalent Mutations of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) in Fars and Isfahan of Iran

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in humans is in X-linked disorder, housekeeping enzyme and vital for the survival of every cell. It catalyses the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phospho Gluconat in the first committed step of the pentose phosphate pathway, which provides cells with pentoses and reducing power in the form of NADPH. NADPH is required to protect the cells against ox...

Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency and Pre-eclampsia: Possibility of Treatment

Molecular Identification of the Most Prevalent Mutation of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Gene in Deficient Patients in Sistan and Balochestan Province of Iran

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in humans is an X-chromosome-linked disorder and housekeeping enzyme, vital for the survival of every cell. It catalyses the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phospho gluconate in the first committed step of the pentose phosphate pathway, which provides cells with pentoses and reducing power in the form of NADPH. NADPH is required to protect the cell...

MOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION OF THE MOST PREVALENT MUTATION OF GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE (G6PD) GENE IN DEFICIENT PATIENTS IN GILAN PROVINCE

Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a cytosolic enzyme which its main function is to produce NADPH in the red blood cells by controlling the step from Glucose-6-Phosphate to 6-Phospho gluconate in the pentose phosphate pathway. G6PD deficiency is the most common X-chromosome linked hereditary enzymopathy in the world, that result in reduced enzyme activity and more than 125 different mu...

Molecular Surveying of the Common Variants of Glucose 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Gene in Deficient Patients

Glucose 6-phoshphate dehydrogenase is X-chromosome linked that expressed in all tissues. This is the first enzyme of pentose phosphate pathway were 5-carbon sugar Ribose and NADPH were synthesized by coupled oxidation /reduction reactions and this enzyme is a highly polymorphic enzyme in humans. G6PD deficiency are shown to be the cause of haemolytic effect of Fava beans and primaquine. It soon...
