Product Description: Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (yeast, recombinant) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway and a major source of NADPH in antioxidant pathways, nitric oxide synthase, NADPH oxidase, and cytochrome P450 systems. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase helps cells resist oxidative stress and regulates metabolic rates. It holds potential for research in fields such as diabetes, endothelial dysfunction, cancer, and cardiomyopathy[1].
