Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (GAPDH) Antibody

Background

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a multifunctional enzyme predominantly involved in glycolysis, catalyzing the oxidative phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate using NAD+ as a cofactor. Beyond its metabolic role, GAPDH participates in various non-metabolic processes, including transcriptional regulation, DNA repair, and cell apoptosis. Its involvement in oxidative stress response and as a target for S-nitrosylation connects it to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Furthermore, GAPDH can translocate to the nucleus under stress conditions, influencing apoptotic pathways.
