  • Title: Galactose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Purification and partial characterization.
    Author: Ray M, Bhaduri A.
    Journal: J Biol Chem; 1975 May 25; 250(10):3595-601. PubMed ID: 236296.
    Abstract:
    A new enzyme, galactose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase has been purified about 50-fold from goat liver. The enzyme can be distinguished from the nonspecific hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase by its high substrate specificity and absolute pyridine nucleotide requirement. In contrast to the hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, this enzyme is located exclusively in the cytoplasmic fraction of the cell. The enzyme is a metalloprotein and is highly sensitive to mercurials. The product of the reaction is possibly a ketoaldose, phosphorylated at the primary alcoholic group.
