Entrez gene ID | | 2820 |
Official gene symbol | | GPD2 |
Full name | | glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 2 (mitochondrial) |
Aliases | | ,GDH2,GPDM,mGPDH, |
Gene summary | | The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane and catalyzes the conversion of glycerol-3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, using FAD as a cofactor. Along with GDP1, the encoded protein constitutes the glycerol phosphate shuttle, which reoxidizes NADH formed during glycolysis. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. |
