PGD Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 503 amino acids (1-483 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 55.3 kDa.
The PGD is fused to a 20 amino acid His Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
6PGD is the second dehydrogenase in the pentose phosphate shunt. Pentose is neccesary for nucleic acid biosynthesis. The pentose phosphate cycle is a major source of NADPH 6PGD deficiency is usually asymptomatic, and the inheritance of this disorder is autosomal dominant. PGD deficiency raises the erythrocyte pyruvate kinase levels of activity and decreases glutathione synthetase, resulting in hemolysis.
