Popis: Murine hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase has been purified from liver microsomes by affinity chromatography on 2 ′ ,5 ′ -ADP–Sepharose. The purified enzyme has 6-phosphogluconolactonase activity and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and has a native molecular mass of 178 kDa and a subunit molecular mass of 89 kDa. Glucose 6-phosphate, galactose 6-phosphate, 2-deoxyglucose 6-phosphate, glucosamine 6-phosphate, and glucose 6-sulfate are substrates for murine hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, with either NADP or deamino-NADP as coenzyme. This study confirms that hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is a bifunctional enzyme which can catalyze the first two reactions of the pentose phosphate pathway.
