1Insertion of NADP dependent glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (R00845)Glycerol 3-phosphate + NADP D-Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + NADPH

2Insertion of nonphosphorylating NADP dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (R01058)D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + NADP → 3-phospho-D-glycerate + NADPH
