'''[[Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase]]'''

<Structure load='3gpd' size='400' frame='true' align='right' caption='Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase' scene='Insert optional scene name here' />(abbreviated as GAPDH or the less common G3PDH) (EC 1.2.1.12) ~37kDa is a well-known [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme enzyme] which catalyzes the sixth step of [glycolysis], a reversible cytosolic process in [eukaryotes] which involves the breakdown of glucose for energy and carbon molecules. Along with its role in glycolysis and [gluconeogenesis], recent research has determined that GAPDH is actually a multifunctional protein, as it has numerous defined, non-metabolic functions involved in multiple subcellular processes including [transcription] activation, ER to Golgi transportation, transcriptional control of histone [gene expression], nuclear membrane fusion, neuronal initiation of [apoptosis], recognizing fraudulently incorporated nucleotides in DNA, and maintaining [telomere] structures. Research also shows that it possibly has a direct involvement in cellular phenotype of human [neurodegenerative] disorders, especially those characterized by expansion of [CAG repeats].
