Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NADP+)

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NADP+) (EC 1.2.1.9) (GAPN) is an enzyme that irreversibly catalyzes the oxidation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) to 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PG or 3-PGA) using the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH. GAPN is used in a variant of glycolysis that conserves energy as NADPH rather than as ATP. The NADPH and 3-PG can then be used for synthesis. The most familiar variant of glycolysis uses glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and phosphoglycerate kinase to produce ATP. GAPDH is phosphorylating. GAPN is non-phosphorylating.

GAPN was reported first by Rosenberg and Arnon in 1954. It has been found in plants, algae, and bacteria.

Reactions

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NADP+) catalyzes

GAP + NADP + H₂O → 3-PG + NADPH + H

GAP + NAD + P_i ⇌ 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + NADH + H

1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + ADP ⇌ 3-PG + ATP
