FunFam 7046: Putative glycerol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase (NAD(P...

There are 6 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Glycerol dehydrogenase. [EC: 1.1.1.6]
Glycerol + NAD(+) = glycerone + NADH.
  • Also acts on 1,2-propanediol.

Sn-glycerol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase. [EC: 1.1.1.261]
sn-glycerol 1-phosphate + NAD(P)(+) = glycerone phosphate + NAD(P)H.
  • Responsible for the formation of archaea-specific sn-glycerol-1- phosphate, the first step in the biosynthesis of polar lipids in archaea.
  • It is the enantiomer of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate, the form of glycerophosphate found in bacteria and eukaryotes.
  • The other enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of polar lipids in archaea are EC 2.5.1.41 and EC 2.5.1.42, which together alkylate the hydroxy groups of glycerol 1-phosphate to give unsaturated archaetidic acid, which is acted upon by EC 2.7.7.67 to form CDP- unsaturated archaeol.
  • The final step in the pathway involves the addition of L-serine, with concomitant removal of CMP, leading to the production of unsaturated archaetidylserine.
  • Activity of the enzyme is stimulated by K(+).

Alcohol dehydrogenase. [EC: 1.1.1.1]
(1) An alcohol + NAD(+) = an aldehyde or ketone + NADH. (2) A secondary alcohol + NAD(+) = a ketone + NADH.
  • Acts on primary or secondary alcohols or hemi-acetals with very broad specificity; however the enzyme oxidizes methanol much more poorly than ethanol.
  • The animal, but not the yeast, enzyme acts also on cyclic secondary alcohols.

(R)-aminopropanol dehydrogenase. [EC: 1.1.1.75]
(R)-1-aminopropan-2-ol + NAD(+) = aminoacetone + NADH.

    Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. [EC: 1.1.5.3]
    sn-glycerol 3-phosphate + a quinone = glycerone phosphate + a quinol.
    • An essential membrane enzyme, functioning at the central junction of glycolysis, respiration and phospholipid biosynthesis.
    • In bacteria, the enzyme is localized to the cytoplasmic membrane, while in eukaryotes it is tightly bound to the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
    • In eukaryotes, this enzyme, together with the cytosolic enzyme EC 1.1.1.8 forms the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle by which NADH produced in the cytosol, primarily from glycolysis, can be reoxidized to NAD(+) by the mitochondrial electron-transport chain.
    • This shuttle plays a critical role in transferring reducing equivalents from cytosolic NADH into the mitochondrial matrix.
    • Insect flight muscle uses only CoQ(10) as the physiological quinone whereas hamster and rat mitochondria use mainly CoQ(9).
    • The enzyme is activated by calcium.
    • Formerly EC 1.1.2.1 and EC 1.1.99.5.

    3-dehydroquinate synthase. [EC: 4.2.3.4]
    3-deoxy-D-arabino-hept-2-ulosonate 7-phosphate = 3-dehydroquinate + phosphate.
    • The hydrogen atoms on C-7 of the substrate are retained on C-2 of the products.
    • Formerly EC 4.6.1.3.
