Anti-H6PD Antibody Picoband®

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.

H6PD; GDH; GDH/6PGL endoplasmic bifunctional protein [Includes: Glucose 1-dehydrogenase; EC 1.1.1.47; Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase; EC 1.1.1.363; 6-phosphogluconolactonase; 6PGL; EC 3.1.1.31]

E.coli-derived human H6PD recombinant protein (Position: A69-N683) . Human H6PDshares 81.5% and 83.9% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat H6PD, respectively.
