Function
GLCDH_HALMT Catalyzes the NAD(P)(+)-dependent oxidation of D-glucose to D-gluconate. Displays broad substrate specificity since it is able to catalyze the oxidation of a number of alternative aldose sugars, such as D-xylose, D-galactose, and D-fucose, to the corresponding glyconate. Can utilize both NAD(+) and NADP(+) as electron acceptor, with a preference for NADP(+). Physiologically, seems to be involved in the degradation of glucose through a modified Entner-Doudoroff pathway.[1] [2]
