Phosphoglucose isomerase

Function

Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) or glucose-6-phosphate isomerase catalyzes the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate^[1]. The encoded protein is also referred to as autocrine motility factor (AMF) based on an additional function as a tumor-secreted cytokine and angiogenic factor (see Growth factors). PGI is part of the glycolysis cycle. For more details see Phosphoglucoisomerase.

Disease

Increased expression of PGI enhances colorectal cancer metastasis^[2].
