H6PD - hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase/glucose 1-dehydrogenase Gene
Also Known as GDH; G6PDH; H6PDH; CORTRD1
Species: Homo sapiens
About H6PD
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 198 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in ovary (RPKM 12.8), skin (RPKM 11.6) and 25 other tissues.
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. Both forms are present in most tissues, but H form is not found in red cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
