Application
Phosphoglucose Isomerase (PGI) is an enzyme crucial for the interconversion of D-glucose 6-phosphate and D-fructose 6-phosphate. PGI is responsible for the second step of glycolysis and is involved in glucogenesis. It is highly conserved in bacteria and eukaryotes. It is used in sugar assays to convert fructose to glucose. This product is from Bacillus stearothermophilus.
The enzyme from Sigma has been used in the determination of fructose 6-phosphate in a mutant strain of Rhizobium meliloti.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphoglucose Isomerase fuctions as an isomerase, neuroleukin, autocrine motility factor, and a differentiation and maturation mediator.
General description
The enzyme is part of the glycolytic pathway. Also, it is important in the industrial production of fructose 1,6-diphosphate (FDP) from glucose. The molecular mass is found to be approximately 189 kDa and it consists of four subunits, each with a molecular mass of approximately 50 kDa. Optimum pH is found to be between 9-10 and the isoelectric point is 4.2.
Other Notes
One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of D-fructose 6-phosphate to D-glucose 6-phosphate per min at pH 9.0 at 30 °C.

A mutant strain of complex phenotype was selected in Rhizobium meliloti after nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis. It failed to grow on mannitol, sorbitol, fructose, mannose, ribose, arabitol, or xylose, but grew on glucose, maltose, gluconate, L-arabinose, and many other carbohydrates. Assay showed

Glycolytic enzymes are cytosolic proteins, but they also play important extracellular roles in cell-cell communication and infection. We used Saccharomyces cerevisiae to analyze the secretory pathway of some of these enzymes, including enolase, phosphoglucose isomerase, triose phosphate isomerase, and fructose
