PGAM1: Proteins and Enzymes

PGAM is an enzyme that catalyzes 3 reactions; the isomerization of 2-PGA to 3-PGA with 2,3-DPG as a primer, the synthesis of 2,3-DPG from 1,3-DPG with 3-PGA as a primer and the degradation of 2,3-DPG to 3-PGA. There are two different isoforms of PGAM in mammals, a muscle and brain isoform. PGAM has also been linked to non-spherocytic anemia.
