Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (quinone)

Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase ( is an enzyme with systematic name sn-glycerol 3-phosphate:quinone oxidoreductase.       This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * sn-glycerol 3-phosphate + quinone $$\rightleftharpoons$$ glycerone phosphate + quinol

This flavin-dependent dehydrogenase is a membrane enzyme. It participates in glycolysis, respiration and phospholipid biosynthesis.
