Function
[G6PI_RABIT] Besides it's role as a glycolytic enzyme, mammalian GPI can function as a tumor-secreted cytokine and an angiogenic factor (AMF) that stimulates endothelial cell motility. GPI is also a neurotrophic factor (Neuroleukin) for spinal and sensory neurons (By similarity).

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Phosphoglucose isomerase (EC ) catalyzes the second step in glycolysis, the reversible isomerization of D-glucose 6-phosphate to D-fructose 6-phosphate. The reaction mechanism involves acid-base catalysis with proton transfer and proceeds through a cis-enediol(ate) intermediate. 5-Phospho-D-arabinonohydroxamic acid (5PAH) is a synthetic small molecule that resembles the reaction intermediate, differing only in that it has a nitrogen atom in place of C1. Hence, 5PAH is the best inhibitor of the isomerization reaction reported to date with a K(i) of 2 x 10(-7) M. Here we report the crystal structure of rabbit phosphoglucose isomerase complexed with 5PAH at 1.9 A resolution. The interaction of 5PAH with amino acid residues in the enzyme active site supports a model of the catalytic mechanism in which Glu-357 transfers a proton between C1 and C2 and Arg-272 helps stabilize the intermediate. It also suggests a mechanism for proton transfer between O1 and O2.
