TPI1 triosephosphate isomerase 1

Gene ID: 7167, updated on 8-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TIM; TPI; TPID; HEL-S-49

Summary

This gene encodes an enzyme, consisting of two identical proteins, which catalyzes the isomerization of glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate (G3P) and dihydroxy-acetone phosphate (DHAP) in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with triosephosphate isomerase deficiency. Pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 1, 4, 6 and 7. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]
