NCBI Protein Information
glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase 4
NCBI Summary
Encodes a protein similar to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase but, based on amino acid differences in the active site and lack of activity, does not encode a functional G6PDH. The amino acid sequence for the consensus sequence of the G6PDH active site (DHYLGKE) differs in three places in this protein. gc exon splice site at 20574 is based on protein alignment, and is not confirmed experimentally.

UniProt Comments
Catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the oxidative pentose-phosphate pathway, which represents a route for the dissimilation of carbohydrates besides glycolysis. The main function of this enzyme is to provide reducing power (NADPH) and pentose phosphates for fatty acid and nucleic acid synthesis which are involved in membrane synthesis and cell division.
