Function: Triosephosphate isomerase is an extremely efficient metabolic enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion between dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18562316}.
 
Function: It is also responsible for the non-negligible production of methylglyoxal a reactive cytotoxic side-product that modifies and can alter proteins, DNA and lipids. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00939}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate = dihydroxyacetone phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:18585, ChEBI:CHEBI:57642, ChEBI:CHEBI:59776; EC=5.3.1.1; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:18562316};
Catalytic activity: Reaction=dihydroxyacetone phosphate = methylglyoxal + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:17937, ChEBI:CHEBI:17158, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:57642; EC=4.2.3.3; Evidence={ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00939};
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=0.74 mM for D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (at pH 7.4 and 25 degrees Celsius) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18562316}; Vmax=7.1 mmol/min/mg enzyme {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18562316};
Pathway: Carbohydrate degradation; glycolysis; D-glyceraldehyde 3- phosphate from glycerone phosphate: step 1/1. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU10127}.
Pathway: Carbohydrate biosynthesis; gluconeogenesis. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10127}.
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10127, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18562316, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8061610}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10127}.
Disease: Triosephosphate isomerase deficiency (TPID) [MIM:615512]: An autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized by congenital hemolytic anemia, progressive neuromuscular dysfunction, susceptibility to bacterial infection, and cardiomyopathy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2876430, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8503454, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8571957, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9338582, ECO:0000269|Ref.37}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous: [Isoform 3]: Produced by alternative splicing. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity: Belongs to the triosephosphate isomerase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAH70129.1; Type=Miscellaneous discrepancy; Note=Sequence differs at the C-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
