Phosphoglucomutase (E.C. 5.4.2.2) is an enzyme which catalyzes the interconversion of glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) and glucose-6-phosate (G6P). Phosphoglucomutase (PGM) plays a crucial role in glycogen synthesis and degradation. PGM 1 deficiency can cause a rare congenital disorder of glycosylation. A decrease in PGM activity has also been linked with oxidative stress.
In BioAssay Systems EPGM-100 assay, PGM converts G1P to G6P, which is then oxidized by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The formed NADPH is coupled to a formazan chromogen. The increase in absorbance at 460 nm is directly proportional to phosphoglucomutase activity.
