sn-glycerol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q58122
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(+).
