Gene Symbol:

GPD2 Homo sapiens

Full name:

glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 2

Synonyms:

GDH2, GPDM, mGPDH, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial, GPD-M, GPDH-M, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 2 (mitochondrial), mitochondrial glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, mtGPD, testicular tissue protein Li 76

Genomic Location:

Chr 2: 157000211-157151161

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane and catalyzes the conversion of glycerol-3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, using FAD as a cofactor. Along with GDP1, the encoded protein constitutes the glycerol phosphate shuttle, which reoxidizes NADH formed during glycolysis. Two transcript variants encoding ...

The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane and catalyzes the conversion of glycerol-3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, using FAD as a cofactor. Along with GDP1, the encoded protein constitutes the glycerol phosphate shuttle, which reoxidizes NADH formed during glycolysis. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
