'''Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase''' (GlpD) is a membrane bound enzyme in prokaryotes and in eukaryotes. Glycerol 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (GlpD) is an oxidoreductase enzyme which catalyzes the reduction in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dihydroxyacetone_phosphate_to_glycerol_3-phosphate_en.svg reaction] of Dihydroxyacetone Phosphate to Glycerol 3-Phosphate, with NADH as the reductant. GlpD is involved in many cellular functions such as phospholipids biosynthesis, respiration and metabolism. <ref name="cellfunction">PMID:18296637</ref>The GlpD is a dimer consisting of two subunits which contain the catabolite activator protein (CAP)-Domain,the flavin adenine dinucleotide(FAD)-Domain and a ubiquinone analogue, MD. | '''Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase''' (GlpD) is a membrane bound enzyme in prokaryotes and in eukaryotes.
