Phosphoglycerate mutase

3 reactions · 3 pathways

What it does, reaction by reaction

3 reactions

Gluconeogenesis Carbohydrate Metabolism · Cytosol + mitochondrion + ER

step 6 Reversible

2-Phosphoglycerate ↔ 3-phosphoglycerate

Converts 2-Phosphoglycerate into 3-Phosphoglycerate

› Notes

Phosphoglycerate mutase reversibly transfers the phosphate from carbon 2 to carbon 3; the catalytic 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate-dependent mechanism is used by the corresponding isoenzyme.

Glycolysis Carbohydrate Metabolism · Cytosol

step 8 Reversible

3-Phosphoglycerate → 2-phosphoglycerate

Converts 3-Phosphoglycerate into 2-Phosphoglycerate

› Notes

Phosphoglycerate mutase reversibly shifts the phosphate from carbon 3 to carbon 2; the 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate-dependent isoenzyme requires a catalytic phosphohistidine and 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate for priming. No ATP is consumed.

Anaerobic Glycolysis / Lactic Acid Fermentation Energy Metabolism & Cellular Respiration · Cytosol

step 8 Reversible

3-Phosphoglycerate ⇌ 2-phosphoglycerate

Converts 3-Phosphoglycerate into 2-Phosphoglycerate

› Notes

Required cofactor: 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate as a catalytic priming cofactor in the major human enzyme. The reaction is reversible.
