GPD1; also known as glycerolphosphate dehydrogenase 1; is a member of the NAD-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase family. GPD1 catalyzes the reversible redox conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP); thus plays a critical role in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. It also reduces nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) and NAD+. Meanwhile; GPD1 and mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase also form a glycerol phosphate shuttle that facilitates the transfer of reducing equivalents from the cytosol to mitochondria. Mutations in GPD1 gene are a cause of transient infantile hypertriglyceridemia.
A DNA sequence encoding the human GPD1(P21695) (Met1-Met349) was expressed with a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus.
