Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 21991 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables triose-phosphate isomerase activity. Involved in canonical glycolysis; gluconeogenesis; and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within glucose metabolic process. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study triosephosphate isomerase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carbohydrate metabolic disorder and triosephosphate isomerase deficiency. Orthologous to human TPI1 (triosephosphate isomerase 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutants die at postimplantation stage. Heterozygotes are normal, but with 50% of normal enzyme activity. Mice heterozygous or homozygous for a hyperactivity allele are otherwise normal. Mice homozygous for a chemically induced allele exhibit symptoms of hemolytic anemia. [provided by MGI curators] |
