G6pd2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including monosaccharide metabolic process; negative regulation of cell growth involved in cardiac muscle cell development; and negative regulation of metabolic process. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including centriolar satellite; cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane; and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in genitourinary system; nervous system; and nose. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in anemia (multiple); cerebrovascular disease; diabetes mellitus; malaria (multiple); and neonatal jaundice. Orthologous to human G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 G6pd2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
