GPD2 Antibody (5-RY26) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects GPD2 in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). GPD2, also known as glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 2 or GDH2, is a 727 amino acid protein that plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism by facilitating the conversion of glycerol-3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate while reducing enzyme-bound flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). This enzymatic activity is vital for maintaining the balance of NADH and NAD+ in the cell, particularly during glycolysis, and is essential for the proper functioning of the glycerol phosphate shuttle, which is critical for energy production. GPD2 is predominantly localized to the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane, where GPD2 collaborates with GPD1, a cytosolic NAD-linked glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, to ensure efficient energy metabolism. Notably, GPD2 is highly expressed in human pancreatic islets, where GPD2 is integral to the glucose-sensing mechanism of pancreatic beta cells; a deficiency in GPD2 can lead to impaired insulin release in conditions such as noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. GPD2 exists in two alternatively spliced isoforms and features two EF-hand domains, mapping to human chromosome 2q24.1, highlighting GPD2′s structural complexity and functional significance in metabolic regulation.
