Definition:

EC Tree > 1 Oxidoreductases > 1.1 Acting on the CH-OH group of donors > 1.1.1 With NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor > 1.1.1.43 phosphogluconate 2-dehydrogenase
Phosphogluconate 2-dehydrogenase catalyzes the NAD(P)+-dependent oxidation of 6-phospho-D-gluconate to 6-phospho-2-dehydro-D-gluconate, concomitantly reducing NAD(P)+ to NAD(P)H and releasing H+. It is found in Bacteria and Eukaryota.
