| UniProt functional annotation for P04789 | |||
| UniProt code: P04789. |
| Organism: | Trypanosoma brucei brucei. | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Discoba; Euglenozoa; Kinetoplastea; Metakinetoplastina; Trypanosomatida; Trypanosomatidae; Trypanosoma. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate = dihydroxyacetone phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:18585, ChEBI:CHEBI:57642, ChEBI:CHEBI:59776; EC=5.3.1.1; | |
| Pathway: | Carbohydrate biosynthesis; gluconeogenesis. | |
| Pathway: | Carbohydrate degradation; glycolysis; D-glyceraldehyde 3- phosphate from glycerone phosphate: step 1/1. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11997014, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2062828, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8591044}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Glycosome. | |
| Miscellaneous: | The enzyme contains a high proportion of positively- charged residues in beta-barrels V and VII (compared to the homologous regions in other triose isomerase sequences). Since 2 clusters of positive charges located at precise distances on the molecular surface are common to 4 glycosomal enzymes, it has been speculated that this might represent a signal for entry into glycosomes (PubMed:3015595). {ECO:0000305|PubMed:3015595}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the triosephosphate isomerase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
