'''Phosphoglucoisomerase''' (alternatively known as '''phosphoglucose isomerase''' or '''Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase''') are a group of enzymes of the isomerase family ([http://www.brenda-enzymes.info/php/result_flat.php4?ecno=5.3.1.9 EC 5.3.1.9]), so named for their main function in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. In both these pathways phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) is used to inter-convert glucose-6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate, reaction driven by the relative concentrations of these sugars in the cytoplasmic matrix of the cell. | '''Phosphoglucoisomerase''' (alternatively known as '''phosphoglucose isomerase''' or '''Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase''') are a group of enzymes of the isomerase family ([http://www.brenda-enzymes.info/php/result_flat.php4?ecno=5.3.1.9 EC 5.3.1.9]), so named for their main function in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.
