Function
Isomerase that catalyzes the conversion of alpha-D-glucose-6-phosphate to beta-D-fructose-6-phosphate, the second step in glycolysis, and the reverse reaction in gluconeogenesis, within the cytoplasm. Also shows C2-epimerase activity, interconverting D-glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) and D-mannose-6-phosphate (M6P). Also displays anomerase activity, interconverting alpha and beta-anomeric forms of G6P, D-fructose-6-phosphate and M6P.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm; Secreted
Disease Association: Anemia, congenital, non-spherocytic hemolytic, 4 (CNSHA4) : An autosomal recessive form of anemia in which there is no abnormal hemoglobin or spherocytosis. It is caused by glucose phosphate isomerase deficiency. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
Pathway: Carbohydrate degradation; glycolysis; D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and glycerone phosphate from D-glucose: step 2/4
