Glucose-1-phosphate phosphodismutase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glucose-1-phosphate phosphodismutase (EC 2.7.1.41) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
This enzyme characterised from Escherichia coli and rabbit muscle converts two molecules of glucose 1-phosphate into one of glucose and one of glucose 1,6-bisphosphate.[1][2]
This enzyme is a type of transferase, specifically one transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-glucose-1-phosphate:D-glucose-1-phosphate 6-phosphotransferase. It participates in starch and sucrose metabolism.[3]
