The enzymic synthesis of the 1-phosphonomethyl isostere of fructose 1,6-diphosphate in which the 1-phosphate (–OPO3H2) is replaced by the phosphonomethyl group (–CH2PO3H2) is described. The kinetic properties of this fructose diphosphate isostere and of 4-hydroxy-3-oxobutylphosphonic acid, an isostere of dihydroxyacetone phosphate, with aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13), fructose diphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) and glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.8) are described (see Table 1).

Microsomal plus cytosol preparations from the mammary gland of lactating rats are capable of incorporating palmitic acid and oleic acid into triacylglycerols. These triacylglycerols are similar in structure to those found in rat milk, where palmitic acid tends to be confined to the sn-2-position of the glycerol. Both glycerol 3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate function as acyl acceptors. The enzymic synthesis of triacylglycerols appears in late pregnancy, increases rapidly during early lactation, but disappears within 3 days of weaning.

Triosephosphate isomerase is the fifth enzyme in glycolysis and its canonical function is the reversible isomerization of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. Within the last decade multiple other functions, that may not necessarily always involve catalysis, have been described. These include variations in the degree of its expression in many types of cancer and participation in the regulation of the cell cycle. Triosephosphate isomerase may function as an auto-antigen and in the evasion of the immune response, as a factor of virulence of some organisms, and also as an important allergen, mainly in a variety of seafoods. It is an important factor to consider in the cryopreservation of semen and seems to play a major role in some aspects of the development of Alzheimer's disease. It also seems to be responsible for neurodegenerative alterations in a few cases of human triosephosphate isomerase deficiency. Thus, triosephosphate isomerase is an excellent example of a moonlighting protein.
