Glycerol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase (NAD(P)+)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a glycerol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] (EC 1.1.1.261) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

sn-glycerol-1-phosphate + NAD(P)+ \rightleftharpoons glycerone phosphate + NAD(P)H + H+

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are sn-glycerol-1-phosphate, NAD+, and NADP+, whereas its 4 products are glycerone phosphate, NADH, NADPH, and H+.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is sn-glycerol-1-phosphate:NAD(P)+ 2-oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called glycerol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+].
