OverviewNCBI Gene

6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase is the second dehydrogenase in the pentose phosphate shunt. Deficiency of this enzyme is generally asymptomatic, and the inheritance of this disorder is autosomal dominant. Hemolysis results from combined deficiency of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconolactonase suggesting a synergism of the two enzymopathies. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PGD as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PGD could matter depends on whether native PGD is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PGD is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PGD as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
