Predicted to enable glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in glucose metabolic process and pentose-phosphate shunt, oxidative branch. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Plasmodium falciparum malaria; diabetes mellitus (multiple); and favism. Is an ortholog of human G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase).
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.
