Description | NAD-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase ( ) (GPD) catalyzes the reversible reduction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glycerol-3-phosphate. It is a cytoplasmic protein, active as a homodimer [ ], each monomer containing an N-terminal NAD binding site []. In insects, it acts in conjunction with a mitochondrial alpha-glycerophosphate oxidase in the alpha-glycerophosphate cycle, which is essential for the production of energy used in insect flight []. |
