PGD
geneOn this page
Summary
PGD (phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, HGNC:8891) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p36.22, encoding 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, decarboxylating (P52209). Catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of 6-phosphogluconate to ribulose 5-phosphate and CO(2), with concomitant reduction of NADP to NADPH. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 79.8% of cell lines).
6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase is the second dehydrogenase in the pentose phosphate shunt. Deficiency of this enzyme is generally asymptomatic, and the inheritance of this disorder is autosomal dominant. Hemolysis results from combined deficiency of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconolactonase suggesting a synergism of the two enzymopathies. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 103 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
