g6pd deficiency

2

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) (葡萄糖 -6-磷酸脫氫酶 ) is an enzyme produced in immature red blood cells.

3

It protects the red blood cells from being oxidized and destroyed.

4

About 5% of the HK population have G6PD deficiency (葡萄糖 -6-磷酸脫氫酶缺乏症／蠶豆症 ).

5

If they are exposed to substances with oxidizing properties, their red blood cells will break down rapidly.

170

How to make seedless fruits?

Triploid plants have three sets of chromosomes, and three sets cannot be divided evenly when they go into two daughter cells during meiosis. Since the triploid hybrid is female sterile, the fruit are seedless. Because the triploid is also male sterile, it is necessary to plant a diploid cultivar in the production field to provide the pollen that stimulates fruit to form.

How can G6PD be produced only inred blood cells?1

Although each cell has a copy of all the genes in an organism, some genes are expressed in certain types of cells only.

191

How can G6PD be produced only inred blood cells?1

In this case, the G6PD gene is ‘switched on’ in immature red blood cells, but ‘switched off’ in all other cells.

192

How is G6PD made in the cells?2In the synthesis of G6PD, information in the genes is first copied to mRNA in transcription. Then translation takes place to produce a polypeptide. The polypeptide coils, folds and binds with other polypeptides to form G6PD.

193

How does a mutation in the gene forG6PD cause the enzyme deficiency?3In G6PD deficiency, the mutation in the G6PD gene results in a change of the triplet codes.

194

How does a mutation in the gene forG6PD cause the enzyme deficiency?3That in turns results in a polypeptide with a wrong sequence of amino acids and normal G6PD cannot be produced.
