MPI mannose phosphate isomerase

Gene ID: 4351, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PMI; PMI1; CDG1B

Summary

Phosphomannose isomerase catalyzes the interconversion of fructose-6-phosphate and mannose-6-phosphate and plays a critical role in maintaining the supply of D-mannose derivatives, which are required for most glycosylation reactions. Mutations in the MPI gene were found in patients with carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome, type Ib. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
