Product details
Phosphoglucomutase Activity Assay Kit (Fluorometric) (ab211104) provides a sensitive, simple and convenient method for measuring Phosphoglucomutase (PGM) activity in cell and tissue lysates. The assay is based on the ability of Phosphoglucomutase to convert glucose-1-phosphate to glucose-6-phosphate. Glucose-6-phosphate is then oxidized by Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) to form NADPH, which in turn reduces the probe to generate an intense fluorescence product that can detected at Ex/Em = 535/587 nm.
This assay can detect as low as 20 µU of Phosphoglucomutase activity.
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K770 PicoProbe™ Phosphoglucomutase Assay Kit (Fluorometric). K770-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab211104.
Phosphoglucomutase (PGM, EC 5.4.2.2) facilitates the interconversion of glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) and glucose-6-phosphate (G6P). Glycogen breakdown generates G1P, which is converted to G6P by PGM. G6P can then go into the glycolytic pathway to generate ATP, or to the pentose phosphate pathway to generate ribose and NADPH. On the other hand, when cells have extra energy, G6P is converted by PGM into G1P to generate glycogen.
In humans, two isoforms have been described, PGM I and PGM II. PGM deficiency leads to glucose storage disease.

Biological function summary
Aciculin is essential for cytoskeletal organization and cell adhesion processes. It acts within a complex network of proteins that includes integrins and sarcoglycans assisting in mechanical signal transduction across muscle cells. This interaction supports muscle cell structure and integrity allowing proper muscle function during contraction and relaxation phases. It also helps in repairing cell membrane disruptions caused by mechanical stress.
Pathways
The protein contributes significantly to actin filament organization and integrin-mediated signaling pathways. These pathways are important for maintaining muscle cell strength and stability. Aciculin interacts with proteins like vinculin and talin enhancing its role in actin cytoskeleton rearrangement processes and integrin signal transduction. As a result it helps ensure cell adhesion and motility by linking cytoskeletal elements to extracellular matrix components.
