SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	first step of pentose phosphate, pathway mainly involved in the defense against oxidizing agents through NADPH production
	producing pentose sugars for nucleic acid synthesis and main producer of NADPH reducing power
	decline in the activities of G6PD and CYB5R3 would indicate a decrease in the antioxidant response associated to Red blood cell (RBC) aging
	plays an important role in beta-cell function and survival
	is a reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-producing enzyme that plays a key role in cellular reduction/oxidation regulation
	G6PD is highly regulated by many signals that affect transcription, post-translation, intracellular location, and interactions with other protein
	catalyzes the first step of the pentose phosphate pathway, and in erythrocytes, the functionality of the pathway is crucial to protect these cells against oxidative damage
	activation of G6PD by SIRT2 supports the proliferation and clonogenic activity of leukaemia cells
	plays likely an essential role in anti-oxidative defense through producing NADPH
	is a rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway
	ultimately plays a critical role in macrophage functions used against infectious agent

CELLULAR PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

carbohydrate

signaling

	carbohydrate degradation
	pentose phosphate pathway

a component

acetylation

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule	nucleotide,
	NADP

protein	:
	G6PD activity and membrane association are regulated by SRC-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation, which contributes to VEGFA-mediated cellular responses in endothelial cell (EC)
	SRSF3 and SRSF4 bound to the G6PD exonic splicing enhancer (ESE) in exon 12 of the mRNA
	deacetylase SIRT2 promotes NADPH production through deacetylating G6PD at lysine 403 (K403)
	SIRT5-dependent mechanism that regulates cellular NADPH homeostasis and redox potential by promoting IDH2 desuccinylation and G6PD deglutarylation
	mechanistically, PAK4 interacted with G6PD, a rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway and increased G6PD activity via enhancing MDM2-mediated TP53 ubiquitination degradation

REGULATION

activated by	heat shock (40°C-42&
		8239;°C) that increased GSH levels, expression of glucose transporter SLC2A1, and enzymatic activity and expression of G6PD, the rate-limiting enzyme in the pentose cycle

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

G6pd-deficient mice had smaller islets and impaired glucose tolerance compared with control mice, which suggests that G6pd deficiency per se leads to beta-cell dysfunction and death
