EC 1.1.1.343

Accepted name: phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (NAD+-dependent, decarboxylating)

Reaction: 6-phospho-D-gluconate + NAD+ = D-ribulose 5-phosphate + CO2 + NADH + H+

Other name(s): 6-PGDH (ambiguous); gntZ (gene name); GNDl

Systematic name: 6-phospho-D-gluconate:NAD+ 2-oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)

Comments: Highly specific for NAD+. The enzyme catalyses both the oxidation and decarboxylation of 6-phospho-D-gluconate. In the bacterium Methylobacillus flagellatus the enzyme participates in a formaldehyde oxidation pathway [4]. cf. EC 1.1.1.44, phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (NADP+-dependent, decarboxylating).
