Glucose 6-phosphate isomerase

Description:
Glucose 6-phosphate isomerase (GPI), also known as phosphoglucose isomerase, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism. It catalyzes the reversible conversion of glucose 6-phosphate to fructose 6-phosphate, a key step in both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. This enzyme is found in various organisms, including bacteria, plants, and animals, highlighting its fundamental importance in energy production and metabolic pathways. GPI is typically a cytosolic enzyme, and its activity is influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the concentration of substrates and products. The enzyme is characterized by its specificity for the glucose 6-phosphate substrate and its ability to facilitate the isomerization process efficiently. In addition to its metabolic functions, GPI has been studied for its potential roles in cell signaling and as a tumor marker in certain cancers. The CAS number 9001-41-6 refers to the enzyme's classification in chemical databases, aiding in its identification and study in biochemical research.
