Most individuals with G6PD deficiency are asymptomatic.When it induces hemolysis, the effect is usually short-lived. [5]Most people who develop symptoms are male, due to the X-linked pattern of inheritance, but female carriers can be affected due to unfavorable lyonization or skewed X-inactivation, where random inactivation of an X-chromosome in certain cells creates a population of G6PD ...
G6PD converts G6P into 6-phosphoglucono-δ-lactone and is the rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway. Thus, regulation of G6PD has downstream consequences for the activity of the rest of the pentose phosphate pathway. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is stimulated by its substrate G6P.
The NADPH pathway (both 6PGD and G6PD reactions) is the only source of reductant to reduce glutathione in red blood cells. The role of erythrocytes as oxygen carriers puts them at risk of being damaged by oxidizing free radicals. The reduction of glutathione acts as an antioxidant and prevents damage from reactive oxygen species. [citation needed]

The protein is a homodimer in which the monomers act independently: [3] each contains a large, mainly alpha-helical domain and a smaller beta-alpha-beta domain, containing a mixed parallel and anti-parallel 6-stranded beta sheet. [3] NADP is bound in a cleft in the small domain, the substrate binding in an adjacent pocket. [3]
G6PD deficient red cells in combination with high levels of oxidants causes a cross-linking of sulfhydryl groups on globin chains which causes a denaturing and formation of Heinz body precipitates. [8] Heinz bodies can also be found in chronic liver disease. [9] Alpha-thalassemia. Normal adult hemoglobin is composed of two alpha and two beta ...
