Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a key glycolytic enzyme regulated by many diverse mechanisms. In this study we present evidence that GAPDH activity is stimulated in the presence of oxyhemoglobin (2.3-fold, P < 0.005). No stimulation was seen by myoglobin, and only slight stimulation (1.2-fold, not significant) by methemoglobin was observed. Such stimulation may have physiological significance as 1,3-bis-phosphoglycerate, the product of GAPDH, isomerises to 2,3-bis-phosphoglycerate, an allosteric effector that decreases the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin, thus providing a feedback loop. The results suggest that when assaying GAPDH activity in biological samples, hemoglobin content should be taken into account.
