GPD1
geneOn this page
Summary
GPD1 (glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1, HGNC:4455) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q13.12, encoding Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase [NAD(+)], cytoplasmic (P21695). Has glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity.
This gene encodes a member of the NAD-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase family. The encoded protein plays a critical role in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism by catalyzing the reversible conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and reduced nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) and NAD+. The encoded cytosolic protein and mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase also form a glycerol phosphate shuttle that facilitates the transfer of reducing equivalents from the cytosol to mitochondria. Mutations in this gene are a cause of transient infantile hypertriglyceridemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
