Beta-phosphoglucomutase
Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a β-phosphoglucomutase (Template:EnzExplorer) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- β-D-glucose 1-phosphate β-D-glucose 6-phosphate
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, β-D-glucose 1-phosphate, and one product, β-D-glucose 6-phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically the phosphotransferases (phosphomutases), which transfer phosphate groups within a molecule. The systematic name of this enzyme class is beta-D-glucose 1,6-phosphomutase. This enzyme participates in starch and sucrose metabolism.
