H6PD, Official Symbol H6PDprovided by HGNC Official Full Name hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase/glucose 1-dehydrogenaseprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:4795 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000049239 MIM:138090; AllianceGenome:HGNC:4795 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as GDH; G6PDH; H6PDH; CORTRD1 Summary There are 2 forms of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. G form is X-linked and H form, encoded by this gene, is autosomally linked. This H form shows activity with other hexose-6-phosphates, especially galactose-6-phosphate, whereas the G form is specific for glucose-6-phosphate. Both forms are present in most tissues, but H form is not found in red cells.
