Official gene symbol | | GAPDH |
Full name | | glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase |
Aliases | | ,G3PD,GAPD,MGC88685, |
Gene summary | | The 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] |
