Phosphoglucomutases (PGM) are enzymes that catalyze the shift of the phosphate residue in glucose phosphate from the 1- to 6-position and vice versa . Two classes are known: If the enzyme is specific for the α- anomer of glucose phosphates (see reactions below), it is called α-phosphoglucomutases ( αPGM ). In contrast, β-phosphoglucomutases only accept β- anomers (βPGM, EC 5.4.2.6 ).  

Occurrence

α-phosphoglucomutases are common in prokaryotes and eukaryotes , β-phosphoglucomutase only in certain bacteria and protists .

meaning

These rearrangements are part of several metabolic pathways in all living things. Several genes are known in humans which code for different homologs , but of which only three have enzymatic activities: PGM1, PGM2 and PGM3. The latter is an acetylglucosamine phosphomutase ( EC 5.4.2.3 ). Mutations in the PGM1 or PGM2 gene can lead to PGM deficiency. Many genetic variants of PGM are known.  

The PGM1 gene contains a plurality of hotspots of recombination , resulting in the plurality of variants explained. There is evidence that miscarriages can be traced back to some of these variants. The activity of PGM1 is increased by binding to and phosphorylation by Pak1 .

Catalyzed equilibrium

G1P    G6P

Glucose-1-phosphate is rearranged to glucose-6-phosphate and vice versa. The reactions are part of glycogen and starch breakdown , glycogen synthesis , uronic acid metabolism and galactose metabolism.
