GPD1, also known as glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. (sn-glycerol 3-phosphate + NAD+ = glycerone phosphate + NADH) Older terms for glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase include alpha glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and glycerolphosphate dehydrogenase. However, GPD1 is not the same as glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) whose substrate is an aldehyde not an alcohol.
