Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase
The glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase is the first and most important enzyme in the oxidative branch of the Pentose Phosphate pathway. There are 140 variants and its deficiency is linked to health problems [1]. It uses glucose 6-phosphate produced in the glycolysis and oxidizes it with NADP+. The result of the reaction is 6-phosphogluconolactone and NADPH, reduced form of NADP+. The whole process takes place in the cytoplasm.

Parameters with uncertainity
Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase is a highly polimorfic enzyme with more than 140 mutants reported[8]. It supplies with pentose sugars to the cell, neccesary to synthesise new DNA, among other things. This make it a crucial enzyme for cancer growth. The values for KmG6P and KmNADP used in this model are those coming from mammary carcinoma tissue. The Vmax value comes from a tissue with high metabolic activity, human placenta.
