Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in paired adult Schistosoma mansoni is about twice as great as in paired adult Schistosoma japonicum. 2. 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activity accounts for 25.8% of the measured production of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) in S. japonicum but only 8.6% of the measured production of NADPH in S. mansoni. 3. These data suggest a species difference in 6-phosphogluconate metabolism.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010734 Phosphogluconate Dehydrogenase An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the reaction 6-phospho-D-gluconate and NADP+ to yield D-ribulose 5-phosphate, carbon dioxide, and NADPH. The reaction is a step in the pentose phosphate pathway of glucose metabolism.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012549 Schistosoma japonicum A species of trematode blood flukes belonging to the family Schistosomatidae whose distribution is confined to areas of the ASIA, EASTERN. The intermediate host is a snail. It occurs in man and other mammals. Schistosoma japonicums,japonicum, Schistosoma
D012550 Schistosoma mansoni A species of trematode blood flukes of the family Schistosomatidae. It is common in the Nile delta. The intermediate host is the planorbid snail. This parasite causes schistosomiasis mansoni and intestinal bilharziasis. Schistosoma mansonus,mansonus, Schistosoma
