Properties
Description
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a considerable enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway that leads to the constrution of 6-phosphogluconolactone and NADPH to glucose-6-phosphate and NADP+.
Unit Definition
One unit reduces one micromole of NAD per minute at 30°C, pH 7.8, using glucose-6-phosphate as substrate.
Source
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Applications
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae applies to the detection of some hexoses in carbohydrate studies and the dairy industries.
