GlpD functions in the intracellular membrane of E. coli and in the inner-mitochondrial membrane of eukaryotes. In E. Coli, GlpD catalyzes and reduces the reaction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glycerol 3-phosphate in the .

Upon the oxidation of glycerol 3-phosphate, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) reduces to FADH2, passing on electrons to Ubiquinone(UQ). UQ then reduces to UQH2 which allows for the transport of electrons into the respiratory pathway. | Upon the oxidation of glycerol 3-phosphate, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) reduces to FADH2, passing on electrons to Ubiquinone(UQ).
