DESCRIPTION

Also known as PGM2_HUMAN, PGM2. Catalyzes the conversion of the nucleoside breakdown products ribose-1-phosphate and deoxyribose-1-phosphate to the corresponding 5-phosphopentoses. Catalyzes the interconversion of glucose-1-phosphate into glucose-6-phosphate but with a lower catalytic efficiency (PubMed:17804405). In vitro, has also a low glucose 1, 6-bisphosphate synthase activity which is most probably not physiologically relevant (PubMed:17804405, PubMed:18927083).
