phosphotriose isomerase (medicine)


phosphotriose isomerase -->
triosephosphate isomerase
<biochemistry, enzyme> An isomerizing enzyme that during glycolysis, catalyses the reversible interconversion of d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate and viceversa. A reaction of importance in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.

A deficiency in humans causes congenital nonspherocytic haemolytic anaemia and severe neurological deficits.

Synonym: phosphotriose isomerase.
