PGMase

Cell Metabolism, Galactose, Glycogen Catabolism

Converts glucose 1-phosphate into glucose 6-phosphate

Isomerases

Phosphoglucomutase

Specifics:

  • Activated enzyme contains phosphorylated Serine residue
  • Phosphoryl is transfered to the C6 hydroxyl group
  • Glucose 1-phosphate forms glucose 1,6-bisphosphate
  • C1 phosphoryl group "shuttled to the same serine residue" ?INQUIRE? = formation of glucose 6-phosphate and regeneration of phosphoenzyme
