Function
Hydrolyzes glucose-6-phosphate to glucose in the endoplasmic reticulum. Forms with the glucose-6-phosphate transporter (SLC37A4/G6PT) the complex responsible for glucose production in the terminal step of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Hence, it is the key enzyme in homeostatic regulation of blood glucose levels.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Disease Association: Glycogen storage disease 1A (GSD1A) : A metabolic disorder characterized by impairment of terminal steps of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Patients manifest a wide range of clinical symptoms and biochemical abnormalities, including hypoglycemia, severe hepatomegaly due to excessive accumulation of glycogen, kidney enlargement, growth retardation, lactic acidemia, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
Pathway: Carbohydrate biosynthesis; gluconeogenesis
