Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in pentose-phosphate shunt, oxidative branch. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including NADP biosynthetic process; erythrocyte development; and maintenance of blood vessel diameter homeostasis by renin-angiotensin. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; immune system; liver; and mammary gland. Used to study favism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including anemia (multiple); cerebrovascular disease; favism; malaria (multiple); and neonatal jaundice. Orthologous to human G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase).
