Description
- Phosphoglucose Isomerase is used in sugar assays to convert fructose to glucose.
- 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.
- Phosphoglucose Isomerase(PGI) is an enzyme crucial for the interconversion of D-glucose 6 phosphate and D-fructose 6-phosphate.
- PGI is responsible for the second step of glycolysis and is involved in glucogenesis.
- It is highly conserved in bacteria and eukaryotes.
- Phosphoglucose Isomerase fuctions as an isomerase, neuroleukin, autocrine motility factor, and a differentiation and maturation mediator.
