NCIt definition : Human TPI1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12p13.31 and is approximately
4 kb in length. This allele, which encodes triosephosphate isomerase protein, is involved
in the isomerization of both glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) and dihydroxy-acetone
phosphate (DHAP) in both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Mutations in this gene are
associated with triosephosphate isomerase deficiency.;
NCIt note : Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.; Pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 1, 4, 6 and 7.;
