gpdh-1 encodes one of two C. elegans glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenases; gpdh-1 mRNA expression is upregulated in response to hypertonicity, suggesting that GPDH-1 does play a role in osmotic stress adaptation in C. elegans via glycerol biosynthesis; regulation of gpdh-1 expression is controlled, in part, by a pathway that includes the OSM-8 mucin and the PTR-23 Patched-like receptor.
Predicted to enable glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (quinone) activity. Predicted to be involved in NADH oxidation and glycerol-3-phosphate metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase complex. Expressed in hypodermis and intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Brugada syndrome 2. Is an ortholog of human GPD1 (glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1) and GPD1L (glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1 like).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
