| P37012 | Phosphoglucomutase 2 | Major phosphoglucomutase isozyme that catalyzes thereversible interconversion of glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate (PubMed:5784209). Constitutes about 80-90% of thephosphoglucomutase activity in the cell (PubMed:14264884,PubMed:5231755). Key enzyme in hexose metabolism. The forward reactionis an essential step in the energy metabolism of galactose since theproduct of the galactose pathway enzymes in yeast is glucose 1-phosphate. The reverse reaction is an essential step for biosynthesiswhen carbon sources other than galactose are the energy source becauseglucose 1-phosphate is the starting point for the synthesis of UDP-glucose, which acts as a precursor for the synthesis ofoligosaccharides and trehalose (PubMed:14264884) | YMR105C | Saccharomyces cerevisiae | VPS23 | 20559436 |
