Abstract excerpt
Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI), a homodimeric enzyme, catalyzes the interconversion between glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate. In mammals, it can also act as an autocrine motility factor, neuroleukin, and maturation factor. Deficiency of the enzymatic activity in red blood cells causes nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia in human. To gain a more complete understanding of the molecular basis for the...
