Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase is an enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway. It forms ribulose 5-phosphate from 6-phosphogluconate. Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase deficiency is a hereditary disease characterized by abnormally low levels of the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase enzyme (abbreviated 6PGD). It is a metabolic enzyme involved in the pentose phosphate pathway, especially important in red blood cell metabolism.
