Background
Phosphoglucomutase-2 (PGM2) is a member of PGM family, which catalyzes the inter-conversion of sugar phosphates and participates in anabolic and catabolic reactions. When cells are grown in glucose, PGM catalyzes the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate an important precursor required for the synthesis of UDP glucose and trehalose. PGM2 catalyzes the conversion of the nucleoside breakdown products ribose-1-phosphate and deoxyribose-1-phosphate to the corresponding 5-phosphopentoses, and it may also catalyze the interconversion of glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate. But this protein has low glucose 1,6-bisphosphate synthase activity.
