NCIt definition : GDH/6PGL endoplasmic bifunctional protein (791 aa, 89 kDa) is encoded by the human
H6PD gene. This protein is involved in the first two steps of the oxidative branch
of the pentose phosphate shunt.;
NCIt note : GDH/6PGL endoplasmic bifunctional protein exhibits two types of enzymatic activity:
hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (GDH; EC 1.1.1.47) and 6-phosphogluconolactonase
(6PGL; EC 3.1.1.31). (UniProt);
