Beta-phosphoglucomutase

UniProtKB accession:  P77366

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the conversion of beta D-glucose 1-phosphate (G1P) to D-glucose 6-phosphate (G6P), forming beta-D-glucose 1,6-(bis)phosphate (beta-G16P) as an intermediate (PubMed:16990279, PubMed:29684280) (Probable). Phosphatase activity with the reaction intermediate beta-G16P has been measured (PubMed:25848029). In vitro interconverts beta D-glucose 1-phosphate, beta-D-allose 1-phosphate, beta-D-galactose 1-phosphate and beta-D-mannose 1-phosphate to their corresponding sugar 6-phosphate product. The beta-D-glucose 1-phosphate substrate may be furnished by YcjT (AC P77154), the apparent upstream enzyme in the putative biochemical pathway encoded in this locus (yjcM to ycjW) (PubMed:29684280). It may play a key role in the regulation of the flow of carbohydrate intermediates in glycolysis and the formation of the sugar nucleotide UDP-glucose.
