[Encoded by human GPI Gene (GPI Family), Glucose-6-Phosphate Isomerase, Neuroleukin, and Autocrine Motility Factor function in different capacities. In glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, homodimeric cytoplasmic GPI catalyzes reversible G6P and F6P isomerization. Produced by lectin-stimulated T-cells, secreted non-mitogenic NLK lymphokine acts early in antibody-secreting cell formation to induce Ig secretion. Also a neurotrophic factor for spinal and sensory neurons, NLK exhibits GPI activity. AMF is a 558-amino acid 55-kD autocrine motility polypeptide. The gene product is partly homologous to a conserved region of HTLV-III-LAV external envelope protein. Gene defects cause nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia and hydrops fetalis.
