what is the function of phosphoglucomutase in glycogen metabolism
Rabbit muscle phosphoglucomutase, drawn from PDB: 1JDY â. Phosphoglucomutase (EC 5.4.2.2) is an enzyme that transfers a phosphate group on an Î±-D-glucose monomer from the 1' to the 6' position in the forward direction or the 6' to the 1' position in the reverse direction.More precisely, it facilitates the interconversion of glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate.hosphoglucomutase also acts in the opposite fashion when blood glucose levels are high. In this case, phosphoglucomutase catalyzes the conversion of glucose 6-phosphate (which is easily generated from glucose by the action of hexokinase) to glucose 1-phosphate.
