The correct answer is: Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a very important enzyme in the production of energy. This enzyme catalyzes the sixth step in the process of breaking down glucose, also known as glycolysis which occurs in organisms of all phyla. The sixth step consists of the oxidation of Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate by NAD and inorganic phosphate to yield 1,3  bisphosphoglycerate
