  2. 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-phosphogluconate_de...

    6PGD deficiency is a recessive hereditary disorder located on the P arm of chromosome 1. It is an autosomal disease, not associated with the sex chromosomes and can affect both sexes. The lack of synthesis of a specific protein on chromosome 1 has reduced a subject suffering from 6PGD deficiency from producing adequate amounts of the 6 ...

    [2] [3] Prokaryotic and eukaryotic 6PGD are proteins of about 470 amino acids whose sequences are highly conserved. [4] The protein is a homodimer in which the monomers act independently: [ 3 ] each contains a large, mainly alpha-helical domain and a smaller beta-alpha-beta domain, containing a mixed parallel and anti-parallel 6-stranded beta ...

    Most individuals with G6PD deficiency are asymptomatic.When it induces hemolysis, it is usually is short-lived. [5]Most people who develop symptoms are male, due to the X-linked pattern of inheritance, but female carriers can be affected due to unfavorable lyonization or skewed X-inactivation, where random inactivation of an X-chromosome in certain cells creates a population of G6PD-deficient ...

    More than 40 severe class I mutations involve mutations near the structural site, thus affecting the long term stability of these enzymes in the body, ultimately resulting in G6PD deficiency. [13] For example, two severe class I mutations, G488S and G488V, drastically increase the dissociation constant between NADP + and the structural site by ...

  6. Heinz body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_body

    NADPH deficiency can cause a dysfunction in glutathione peroxidase which is an enzyme that converts hydrogen peroxide (a reactive oxygen species) into water. G6PD ( glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase ) deficiency exacerbated by administration of oxidant drugs (e.g., primaquine , dapsone , quinidine ) can also result in Heinz bodies.

  7. Congenital disorder of glycosylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_disorder_of...

    This enzyme is responsible for the interconversion of mannose-6-phosphate and mannose-1-phosphate, and its deficiency leads to a shortage in GDP-mannose and dolichol (Dol)-mannose (Man), two donors required for the synthesis of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor of N-linked glycosylation.

  9. PGM1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PGM1

    The biochemical pathways required to utilize glucose as a carbon and energy source are highly conserved from bacteria to humans. PGM1 is an evolutionarily conserved enzyme that regulates one of the most important metabolic carbohydrate trafficking points in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, catalyzing the bi-directional interconversion of glucose 1-phosphate (G-1-P) and glucose 6-phosphate ...
