Hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase found in human liver.
Starch-gel electrophoresis of extracts of human liver revealed the presence of a new hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase that was slower-moving at pH 8.6 than the sex-linked glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. When the gel plate was stained, galactose-6-phos phate being used as a substrate, this enzyme band stained intensely, but the sex-linked glucose-6-phosphate dehydro genase failed to stain. This new human enzyme may well be homologous with the autosomally inherited glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase of the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), re ported by Shaw and Barto.
