Phosphoglucomutase ({EC number|5.4.2.2}) is an enzyme that transfers a phosphate group on an α-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. ==Biological Function...

[glucose-cofactor] Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate, and one product, D-glucose 6-phosphate. This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically the phosphotransferases (phosphomutases), which transfer phosphate groups within a molecule. The systematic name of this enzyme class is alpha-D-glucose 1...
