Abstract: Glycolysis and the Calvin cycle are critical metabolic pathways of energy supply and carbon fixation in plants. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase plays a central role in glycolysis and the Calvin cycle. Recent research results disclosed that the function and regulation of GAPDH turned out to be quite diverse and complex. This article provides an overview of the latest progress on the GAPDH type and function, the specificity interaction of GAPDH and NAD(P), PRK/GAPDH/CP12 complex and regulation, and the mechanism of GAPDH response to stress in plants.

Key words: Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, Biochemical mechanism, Plant
