H6pd Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables 6-phosphogluconolactonase activity and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. Involved in regulation of cortisol biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within pentose-phosphate shunt. Is active in sarcoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in alimentary system; cerebral cortex; cranium; heart; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cortisone reductase deficiency; cortisone reductase deficiency 1; and multiple sclerosis. Orthologous to human H6PD (hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase/glucose 1-dehydrogenase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse H6pd often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
