(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
| Entrez gene ID | 9563 |
| Official gene symbol | H6PD |
| Full name | hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (glucose 1-dehydrogenase) |
| Aliases | ,DKFZp686A01246,G6PDH,GDH,MGC87643, |
| Gene summary | There are 2 forms of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. G form is X-linked and H form, encoded by this gene, is autosomally linked. This H form shows activity with other hexose-6-phosphates, especially galactose-6-phosphate, whereas the G form is specific for glucose-6-phosphate.
