Description
NAD-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.8) (GPD) catalyzes
the reversible reduction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glycerol-3-
phosphate. It is a eukaryotic cytosolic homodimeric protein of about 40 Kd. As
a signature pattern we selected a glycine-rich region that is probably
[1]
involved in NAD-binding.
