Gene Symbol G6PD
Synonyms CNSHA1 | G6PD1
Gene Description G6PD, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the pentose phosphate pathway to convert glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to 6-phosphogluconolactone (6PGL) (PMID: 38139067) and reduce NADP to NADPH, and is important in redox homeostasis (PMID: 35216131, PMID: 38139067) and macromolecule biosynthesis (PMID: 38139067), and plays a role in cell growth (PMID: 9553122), migration, and differentiation (PMID: 35216131), and innate and adaptive immunity (PMID: 38938571). Altered G6PD expression has been observed in several tumor types (PMID: 37335542), including increased expression in triple-negative breast cancer (PMID: 37237244), lung adenocarcinoma (PMID: 39165939), and hepatocellular carcinoma (PMID: 29471502).
