| glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase |
an enzyme involved in maintaining the membrane integrity of red blood cells. Deficiency of this enzyme is a sex-linked genetic condition which occurs with highest frequencies in people of African, Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian origin; it affects 12% of the US African-American male population. Some drugs and infections can cause red blood cells to burst, resulting in severe anemia and other complications among persons deficient in this enzyme.

| glucose-6-phosphate isomerase |
[EC 5.3.1.9] an enzyme of the isomerase class that catalyzes the interconversion glucose 6-phosphate = fructose 6-phosphate. The forward reaction is a step in the Embden-Meyerhof pathway (see illustration at pathway), and the reverse is a step in gluconeogenesis. Deficiency of the enzyme, an autosomal recessive trait, results in hemolytic anemia.
