Overview

Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, or phosphoglucose isomerase, is an enzyme (EC 5.3.1.9) that catalyzes the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate into fructose-6-phosphate in the second step of glycolysis. An unrelated enzyme, D-xylose isomerase (EC 5.3.1.5) catalyzes the isomerization of glucose to fructose, and is sometimes called "glucose isomerase".

The human variant of this enzyme is encoded by the GPI gene.

Function

This gene belongs to the GPI family whose members encode multifunctional phosphoglucose isomerase proteins involved in energy pathways. The protein encoded by this gene is a dimeric enzyme that catalyzes the reversible isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate.

glucose 6-phosphate <=> fructose 6-phosphate

The protein has different functions inside and outside the cell. In the cytoplasm, the protein is involved in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, while outside the cell it functions as a neurotrophic factor for spinal and sensory neurons. The same protein is also secreted by cancer cells, where it is called autocrine motility factor[1] and stimulates metastasis.[2] Defects in this gene are the cause of nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia and a severe enzyme deficiency can be associated with hydrops fetalis, immediate neonatal death and neurological impairment.[3]

Mechanism

The mechanism of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase involves the formation of an enediol intermediate.[4]

Other functions

There is evidence that phosphoglucose isomerase acts as a molecular messenger. It is produced and secreted by white blood cells, and acts to regulate the growth of several different cell types.

Pathology

A deficiency of phosphoglucose isomerase is responsible for 4% of the hemolytic anemias due to glycolytic enzyme deficiencies.

Other functions

There is evidence that phosphoglucose isomerase acts as a molecular messenger. It is produced and secreted by white blood cells, and acts to regulate the growth of several different cell types.
