About Phosphoglycerate mutase

Phosphoglycerate mutase is an enzyme from Isomerase family (EC 5.4.2.1), with molecular weight within 50-70kDa range for biological dimer, that transfers a phosphate group from C-3 to C-2 atom of 3-phosphoglycerate, forming 2-phosphoglycerate. The overall reaction can be written as 3-Phosphoglycerate <=> 2-Phosphoglycerate

Systematic name for Phosphoglycerate mutase is D-phosphoglycerate 2,3-phosphomutase , but in literature other names are also acceptable: PGM; PGAM; PGAM-d; PGAM-i; PGA mutase; MPGM; GriP mutase; monophosphoglycerate mutase; phosphoglyceromutase; diphosphoglycomutase; phosphoglycerate phosphomutase; bisphosphoglyceromutase; glycerate phosphomutase (diphosphoglycerate cofactor); diphosphoglycerate mutase and monophosphoglyceromutase.
