Glucose-6-phosphate 1-epimerase
- Glucose-6-phosphate 1-epimerase
In enzymology, a glucose-6-phosphate 1-epimerase (EC number|5.1.3.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
:alpha-D-glucose 6-phosphate beta-D-glucose 6-phosphate
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, alpha-D-glucose 6-phosphate, and one product, beta-D-glucose 6-phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those racemases and epimerases acting on carbohydrates and derivatives. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-glucose-6-phosphate 1-epimerase. This enzyme participates in glycolysis / gluconeogenesis.
tructural studies
As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB link|2CIQ, PDB link|2CIR, and PDB link|2CIS.
