Gene: H6PD

Alternate names for this Gene: CORTRD1|G6PDH|GDH|H6PDH

Gene Summary: 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p36.22

Description of this Gene: hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase/glucose 1-dehydrogenase

Type of Gene: protein-coding
