Abstract excerpt
Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) is a glycolytic enzyme that converts dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP). Glycolytic enzyme dysfunction leads to metabolic diseases collectively known as glycolytic enzymopathies. Of these enzymopathies, TPI deficiency is unique in the severity of neurological symptoms. The Drosophila sugarkill mutant closely models TPI deficiency and encodes a...
