Gene information for GAPDH (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2597
Official gene symbolGAPDH
Full nameglyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
Aliases,G3PD,GAPD,MGC88685,
Gene summaryThe product of this gene catalyzes an important energy-yielding step in carbohydrate metabolism, the reversible oxidative phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate in the presence of inorganic phosphate and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). The enzyme exists as a tetramer of identical chains. Many pseudogenes similar to this locus are present in the human genome. [provided by RefSeq]
