Question:
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is a rate-limiting cytosolic enzyme controlling the pentose phosphate pathway whereas glucose-6-phosphatase is an enzyme found mainly in the liver and kidney that hydrolyzes glucose-6-phosphate and plays a major role in glucose homeostasis. These enzymes are often confused and their deficiencies cause serious metabolic complications.
Explain in detail the biochemistry behind the deficiency of these enzymes in an individual and their clinical manifestations.
