[Oxidative phase of pentose-phosphate cycle in sea mussel (mytilus edulis l.) (author's transl)]. 1977

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.49) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.44) activities measured in tissue extracts from sea mussel exhibit a potential unbalance which could cause an accumulation of 6-phosphogluconate. Nevertheless elevated levels of this metabolite are not detected in mussel tissues. The Entner-Doudoroff pathway has not been found in hepatopancreas, adductor muscle and gill tissues. Hepatopancreas glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase apparent kinetic parameters at 25 degrees C, were determined. The enzymes are competitively inhibited by NADPH with respect to NADP+. Oxidized Glutathione at nearly physiological concentrations counteracts NADPH inhibition.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
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. (From Dorland, 27th ed) EC 1.1.1.43. 6-Phosphogluconate Dehydrogenase,6 Phosphogluconate Dehydrogenase,Dehydrogenase, 6-Phosphogluconate,Dehydrogenase, Phosphogluconate
