Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
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).
