ABSTRACT 

 

Kumar R, Kaura R, Kaura S, Sethi P, Srikala R., Sequence phylogenetic analysis of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase of Bubalus bubalis, Onl J Bioinform., 26 (2) :47-56, 2025. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) has a crucial role in fatty acid biosynthesis and detoxification of organic peroxides and governs de novo synthesis of nucleotides by affecting production of ribose-5-phosphate through hexose monophosphate pathway. In this study, a 683 bp fragment of buffalo G6PD gene was amplified, sequenced and characterized. The deduced amino acid sequence clustered the Bubalus bubalis G6PD sequence with the other mammalian G6PD proteins into a monophyletic group. The multiple sequence alignment of the Bubalus bubalis G6PD with the mammalian species clearly revealed conservation of the substrate and dimer binding sites with the solved X-ray crystallographic model structure of Homo sapiens.

 

Keywords - Glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase, Buffalo, G6PD, Bubalus bubalis.
