Phosphoglucose isomerase is an enzyme (EC 5.3.1.9) that catalyzes the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate into fructose-6-phosphate in the second step of glycolysis. An unrelated enzyme, D-xylose isomerase (EC 5.3.1.5) catalyzes the isomerization of glucose to fructose, and is sometimes called "glucose isomerase".
In glycolysis
As a glucose isomerase
Other functions
There is evidence that phosphoglucose isomerase acts as a molecular messenger. It is produced and secreted by white blood cells, and acts to regulate the growth of several different cell types.
