Properties
Description
Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase from Escherichia coli is a crucial housekeeping enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate.
Molecular Weight
62.6 kDa
Unit Definition
One unit of phosphoglucose isomerase activity is the amount of enzyme required to convert one µmole of D-fructose 6-phosphate to D-glucose 6-phosphate per min at pH 7.6.
Applications
Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase from Escherichia coli is applied to assays sugar and is a molecular messenger.
