Introduction
Glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GlpD) is a membrane bound enzyme in prokaryotes and in eukaryotes. Glycerol 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (GlpD) is an oxidoreductase enzyme which catalyzes the reduction reactionof Dihydroxyacetone Phosphate to Glycerol 3-Phosphate. GlpD is involved in many cellular functions, where it uses the carbons from Glycerol 3-Phosphate for phospholipids biosynthesis, respiration and further metabolism. In E. coli, many newly discovered structures of GlpD seem to play a role in the transfer of electrons into the respiratory pathway by catalytic dehyrogenation of GlpD. a The GlpD enzyme is a dimer consisting of two subunits which contain the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) active site.
