Template:STRUCTURE 2r4e Glycerol 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase

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 in reaction of Dihydroxyacetone Phosphate to Glycerol 3-Phosphate. GlpD is involved in many cellular functions such as phospholipids biosynthesis, respiration and metabolism. The GlpD is a dimer consisting of two subunits which contain the Cap-Domain,the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-Domain and a ubiquinone analogue, MD. [1]
