What is Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (GAPDH)?
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a critical enzyme involved in the glycolytic pathway. It catalyzes the sixth step of glycolysis, converting glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate into 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. Apart from its metabolic role, GAPDH is a multifunctional protein that participates in various cellular processes, including DNA repair, RNA transport, and apoptotic pathways.
