==Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase from Leuconostoc ''mesenteroides''==

The protein ~~Glycose~~-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase is an enzyme involved in the metabolic pathways of the majority of organisms. Leuconostoc ''mesenteroides'' is a Bacilli Gram-positive bacterium that expresses this enzyme.

The protein Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase is an enzyme involved in the metabolic pathways of the majority of organisms. Leuconostoc ''mesenteroides'' is a Bacilli Gram-positive bacterium that expresses this enzyme.

== Function ==

G6PD plays an important role in the metabolism of L.''mesenteroides''.

Leuconostoc ''mesenteroides'' is a facultactively anaerobic micro-organism which metabolizes glucose to generate lactic acid, ethanol but also carbon dioxyde.

This glucose metabolic process (glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway) is catalysed by G6PD. During this process, NADH is synthesised and used in the heterolactic fermentation and the biosynthesis of fatty acids~~. ase is involved in the processing of carbohydrates as it has important roles in the glucose metabolic process (glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway)~~.

This glucose metabolic process (glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway) is catalysed by G6PD. During this process, [[NADH]] is synthesised and used in the heterolactic fermentation and the biosynthesis of fatty acids.

The protein G6PD also has a role in protecting cells from destruction as it produces the co-factor NADPH which plays a role in protecting cells from reactive oxygen species <ref>PMID: 20608171</ref>.
