Glucose dehydrogenase (GDH; EC 1.1.1.47) is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of β-D-glucose to D-glucono-1,5-lactone, using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) as an electron acceptor. Alfa Chemistry offers high-quality glucose dehydrogenase that is briefly purified from engineered E. coli.

Biological Role
Participates in metabolic pathways that require either NADH or NADPH. NADPH is crucial for anabolic reactions, including biosynthetic processes and maintaining the redox balance within cells.
Clinical and Industrial Applications
- Diabetes Management: GDH-NAD(P)+ based glucose meters are widely used for monitoring blood glucose levels.
- Biotechnological Applications: GDH is employed in biosensors for detecting glucose concentrations in food and beverages.
- Enzymatic Biofuel Cells: GDH, along with other redox enzymes, is explored in the development of biofuel cells for electricity generation from glucose.
