glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 2

glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 2 (mitochondrial)

Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial

mitohondrial glycerophosphate dehydrogenase gene

mtGPD

GPD-M

GPDH-M

mGDH

C-terminal domain of alpha-glycerophosphate oxidase

The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane and catalyzes the conversion of glycerol-3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, using FAD as a cofactor. Along with GDP1, the encoded protein constitutes the glycerol phosphate shuttle, which reoxidizes NADH formed during glycolysis. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010].
