(G6PD) glu·cose-6-phos·phate de·hy·dro·gen·ase (G6PD) (glooґkōs fosґfāt de-hiґdro-jən-ās) [EC 1.1.1.49] an enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate to a lactone, reducing NADP+ to NADPH. The reaction is the first step in the pentose phosphate pathway of glucose metabolism. Genetic deficiency of the enzyme causes severe hemolytic crises in affected individuals. In EC nomenclature, called glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase.
