6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating); catalyzes an NADPH regenerating reaction in the pentose phosphate pathway; required for growth on D-glucono-delta-lactone and adaptation to oxidative stress; GND1 has a paralog, GND2, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000001226]
Chromosome VIII: 470,960-472,429 forward strand.
R64-1-1:BK006934.2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 375 orthologues and 1 paralogue.
