| triosekinase | A phosphotransferase catalyzing the phosphorylation of d-glyceraldehyde by ATP to produce d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and ADP; participates in a step in d-fructose metabolism. Synonym: triosekinase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| triosephosphate isomerase | <biochemistry, enzyme> An isomerizing enzyme that during glycolysis, catalyses the reversible interconversion of d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate and viceversa. A reaction of importance in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. A deficiency in humans causes congenital nonspherocytic haemolytic anaemia and severe neurological deficits. Synonym: phosphotriose isomerase. Chemical name: D-Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ketol isomerase Registry number: EC 5.3.1.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
