In enzymology a phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (EC 1.1.1.44) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction6-phospho-D-gluconate + NADP+ D-ribulose 5-phosphate + CO2 + NADPHThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 6-phospho-D-gluconate and NADP+ whereas its 3 products are D-ribulose 5-phosphate CO2 and NADPH.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
