Association of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase with the membrane of the intact human erythrocyte. 1980

S Keokitichai, and J M Wrigglesworth

Intact human erythrocytes were exposed to low concentrations of glutaraldehyde. After washing and subsequent lysis of the cells, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity is found to be associated with a membrane fraction and cannot be eluted by salt treatment. Lactate dehydrogenase activity is associated with a supernatant fraction under the same conditions. Preincubation of the intact cells under conditions designed to increase internal NADH concentrations, leads to a lower membrane-associated activity of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase after lysis.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007770	L-Lactate Dehydrogenase	A tetrameric enzyme that, along with the coenzyme NAD+, catalyzes the interconversion of LACTATE and PYRUVATE. In vertebrates, genes for three different subunits (LDH-A, LDH-B and LDH-C) exist.	Lactate Dehydrogenase,Dehydrogenase, L-Lactate,Dehydrogenase, Lactate,L Lactate Dehydrogenase
D009243	NAD	A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH).

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

D005987	Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenases	Enzymes that catalyze the dehydrogenation of GLYCERALDEHYDE 3-PHOSPHATE. Several types of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase exist including phosphorylating and non-phosphorylating varieties and ones that transfer hydrogen to NADP and ones that transfer hydrogen to NAD.
