Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (disambiguation)

This page lists articles associated with the name Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Because the name refers to multiple distinct enzymes, disambiguation is required.

Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase may refer to:

• Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase [NAD+] (GPD1): An enzyme that catalyzes the reversible redox conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glycerol-3-phosphate, using NADH as a cofactor. It is cytosolic in eukaryotes.

• Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase [FAD+] (GPD2): An enzyme that catalyzes the same reaction as GPD1, but is localized to the mitochondrial membrane and uses FAD as a cofactor. It plays a role in the glycerol phosphate shuttle.
