DiseaseHemolytic anemia, non-spherocytic, due to glucose phosphate isomerase deficiency (HA-GPID) [MIM:613470]: A form of anemia in which there is no abnormal hemoglobin or spherocytosis. It is caused by glucose phosphate isomerase deficiency. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
FunctionBesides 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11004567, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11437381}.
PathwayCarbohydrate degradation; glycolysis; D-glyceraldehyde 3- phosphate and glycerone phosphate from D-glucose: step 2/4.
PtmISGylated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16139798}.
PtmPhosphorylation at Ser-185 by CK2 has been shown to decrease enzymatic activity and may contribute to secretion by a non- classical secretory pathway. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11004567, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15637053, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18669648, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19690332}.
SimilarityBelongs to the GPI family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationCytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11437381}. Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11437381}.
SubunitHomodimer in the catalytically active form, monomer in the secreted form. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11371164, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12054796, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12777791}.
