glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (FAD) complex

Term ID
GO:0009331
Synonyms
  • aerobic glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase
  • anaerobic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
  • glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase complex
Definition
An enzyme complex that catalyzes the oxidation of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, with concurrent reduction of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) to FADH2. In E. coli, the complex is either a GlpA-GlpB-GlpC heterotrimer that functions in anaerobic conditions, or a GlpD homodimer that functions in aerobic conditions. (3)
