Secondary Information

Protein Function enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway, providing the necessary compounds of NADPH for the synthesis of fatty acids; oxidative carboxylase that catalyzes the decarboxylating reduction of 6- phosphogluconate into ribulose 5-phosphate in the presence of NADP; functional importance of the enzyme is in providing NADPH for fat synthesis and ribose for nucleic acid synthesis;
Biochemical Properties The enzyme follows a rapid equilibrium bi-ter sequential mechanism, with a random order of substrate addition both in the direct reaction, oxidative decarboxylation, and, in the reverse reaction, reductive carboxylation; substrate of reductive carboxylation is ribulose-5-phosphate; 6PG at low concentrations decreases the Km of Ru5P; 6PG is like an allosteric activator of 6PGDH
Significance in milk As found in ovine, 6PGD activity in tail adipose tissue is reduced with the increase of milk energy; In ewes with high milk production, the pathway of lipogenesis is limited by reducing the size of fat cells and reducing the activity of 6PGD
