Mpi - mannose phosphate isomerase

Enables mannose-6-phosphate isomerase activity. Acts upstream of or within GDP-mannose biosynthetic process and mannose to fructose-6-phosphate metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carbohydrate metabolic disorder and congenital disorder of glycosylation Ib. Orthologous to human MPI (mannose phosphate isomerase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
