Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) is a key enzyme in cell metabolism that controls the glycolytic flow and energy production through the interconversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) (Richard, 1993). Notably, TPI is the only glycolytic enzyme whose functional deficiency is associated to neurodegeneration (Eber et al., 1991; Ovadi et al., 2004). In particular, inefficient glycolysis (Hoyer et al., 1988) and ATP depletion (Keil et al., 2004) are characteristic in Alzheimer’s disease brains.
