GNPDA2 Antibody

Glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase (GNPDA) is an allosteric enzyme that catalyzes the reversible conversion of D-glucosamine-6-phosphate into D-fructose-6-phosphate and ammonium. GNPDA2 is the second mammalian glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase discovered, and is closer in structure and activity to the E. coli enzyme than GNPDA1. GNPDA1 possesses greater affinity for ammonium than either GNPDA2 or the E. coli enzyme suggesting that the forward reaction of D-glucosamine-6-phosphate into D-fructose-6-phosphate and ammonium is catalyzed at a slower rate than GNPDA2. GNPDA2 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with GNPDA1.
