gpd-2 encodes one of four C. elegans glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenases (GAPDHs); by homology, GPD-2 is predicted to reversibly catalyze the oxidation and phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-diphosphoglycerate during glycolysis; in C. elegans, GPD-2 and GPD-3 constitute the major GAPDH isoenzymes and are expressed at highest levels during postembryonic development, primarily in the actin-containing A and I zones of body-wall muscle; loss of gpd-2 function via RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) does not result in any abnormalities.
