Gene information for GAPDHS (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID26330
Official gene symbolGAPDHS
Full nameglyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, spermatogenic
Aliases,GAPD2,GAPDH-2,GAPDS,HSD-35,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein belonging to the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase family of enzymes that play an important role in carbohydrate metabolism. Like its somatic cell counterpart, this sperm-specific enzyme functions in a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent manner to remove hydrogen and add phosphate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to form 1,3-diphosphoglycerate. During spermiogenesis, this enzyme may play an important role in regulating the switch between different energy-producing pathways, and it is required for sperm motility and male fertility.
