General description
α-D-Glucose 1-phosphate is converted into D-glucose-6-phosphate by the enzyme phosphoglucomutase.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) is produced from glycogen during glycogenolysis by the actions of glycogen phosphorylase. Conversion to glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) by phosphoglucomutase allows for entry of the glucose molecule into metabolic pathways such as glycolysis. During glycogenesis, G6P is converted to G1P by the actions of phosphoglucose isomerase.
