GNPDA1: Proteins and Enzymes

GNPDA1, also known as Glucosamine-6-phosphate isomerase 1, is a 289 amino acid that is 33 kDa, with homohexamer subunit structure and cytoplasm location; is an allosteric enzyme that catalyzes the reversible conversion of D-glucosamine-6-phosphate into D-fructose-6-phosphate and ammonium; and appears to trigger calcium oscillations in mammalian eggs which operate as the basic trigger for egg activation and early development of the embryo. Disease research is currently being studied with relation to GNPDA1 and lipoid nephrosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and acute interstitial pneumonia. The protein has been linked to the amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism and metabolic pathways where it interacts with MCC, EWSR1, ILF2, AMDHD2, and GP1.
