Background
Phosphoglucomutases (EC 5.2.2.2.), such as PGM5, are phosphotransferases involved in interconversion of glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate. PGM activity is essential in formation of carbohydrates from glucose-6-phosphate and in formation of glucose-6-phosphate from galactose and glycogen (Edwards et al., 1995 [PubMed 8586438]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008],
Function
cofactor:Binds 1 magnesium ion per subunit .,function:Component of adherens-type cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions. Lacks phosphoglucomutase activity.,similarity:Belongs to the phosphohexose mutase family.,subcellular location:Adherens-type cellular junctions.,subunit:Interacts with cytoskeletal proteins dystrophin and utrophin.,tissue specificity:Expressed in smooth and cardiac muscle at high levels and in skeletal muscle at low level. Present in other tissues due to vascular or other smooth muscle component.,
Other name
Phosphoglucomutase-like protein 5 (Aciculin) (Phosphoglucomutase-related protein) (PGM-RP)
