'''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.

Phosphoglucose isomerase exists in the cell usually as a <scene name='Stancu_Phosphoglucoisomerase_Sandbox_1/Dimer/1'>homodimer</scene>, nevertheless outside of the cell, it has been isolated as <scene name='Stancu_Phosphoglucoisomerase_Sandbox_1/Monomer/1'>monomeric</scene> structure. PGI has essentially an identical fold in all of the characterized species (see '''Figure 1'''). The <scene name='Stancu_Phosphoglucoisomerase_Sandbox_1/Sec_struct/1'>secondary structure</scene> of phosphoglucose isomerase is charaterized by an αβα conformation, on each of its two domains. The smaller domain is characterized by 5 parallel β-sheets, while the larger domain if formed out of 6 parallel/antiparallel β-sheets. Furthermore, another charateristical trait is a residue extension at the C-terminus, which wraps around the other monomer in the dimeric conformation

'''Active Site''' - Mammalian PGI shows a degree of <scene name='Stancu_Phosphoglucoisomerase_Sandbox_1/Conservation2/1'>conservation</scene> ( dark red represent highly conserved regions - dark blue regions that are variable) of about 90 %. The <scene name='Stancu_Phosphoglucoisomerase_Sandbox_1/Active_site/1'>active site</scene> is the region with highest observed conservation, with a number of residues that are crucial in the mechanism of the enzyme (Lys210, Gln353, Glu357, Gln511, Lys518, His388b).

Another characteristic of phosphoglucose isomerase is that binding of substrate at the active site, induces a movement in the conformation of the enzyme. This can be seen in '''Figure 2''' as change in the position of an α helix.
