Phosphoglucomutase

(Also called glucose phosphomutase) Phosphoglucomutase catalyzes the interconversion of glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) and glucose-6-phosphate (G6P).

G1P <=> G6P

This reaction is important in glycogen biosynthesis and galactose metabolism. The enzyme is composed of two polypeptide chains, labelled A and B.
