Glucose 1-dehydrogenase

UniProtKB accession:  O93715

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the NAD(P)(+)-dependent oxidation of D-glucose to D-gluconate via gluconolactone. Displays broad substrate specificity since it is able to catalyze the oxidation of a number of alternative aldose sugars, such as D-galactose, D-xylose and L-arabinose, to the corresponding glyconate. Can utilize both NAD(+) and NADP(+) as electron acceptor. Physiologically, seems to be involved in the degradation of both glucose and galactose through a non-phosphorylative variant of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway.
