GNPDA1 is an allosteric enzyme catalyzing the reversible conversion of D-glucosamine-6-phosphate into D-fructose-6-phosphate and ammonium, a reaction that under physiological conditions proceeds to the formation of fructose-6-phosphate. It is the sole enzyme linking hexosamine systems with glycolytic pathways by transferring hexosamines from structural macromolecules into the glycolytic pathway. GNPDA1 localizes close to the developing acrosome vesicle and in spermatozoa close to the acrosomal region, and may play a role in the acrosome reaction. Human GNPDA1 gene is localized to chromosome 5q21.
