Activity summary

The Protein PGM1 also known as phosphoglucomutase-1 plays a significant mechanical role in cellular glucose metabolism. It catalyzes the interconversion of glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate a critical step in the glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways. The PGM1 protein has a molecular mass of approximately 61 kDa. Its expression occurs in various tissues with high levels in muscle and liver tissues which are key sites for energy storage and utilization.

Biological function summary

PGM1 contributes significantly to both energy homeostasis and carbohydrate metabolism. It functions as part of a dynamic complex involving other enzymes that manage intracellular energy balance. PGM1 supports glycogen synthesis and breakdown by regulating the availability of glucose-1-phosphate. This dual role makes PGM1 an important protein for maintaining normal metabolic function. Its activity impacts cellular energy levels which is vital for muscle contraction and overall energy distribution in tissues.

Pathways

PGM1 is critically involved in carbohydrate metabolic pathways specifically glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. In glycolysis it participates in converting glucose for energy production. In gluconeogenesis it assists in the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates. PGM1 interacts closely with other enzymes in these pathways such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase ensuring efficient energy regulation and metabolic flow within the cell.

Associated diseases and disorders

PGM1 is associated with glycogen storage disease type XIV which is a condition causing improper glycogen metabolism. Mutations in the PGM1 gene disrupt its enzymatic function leading to symptoms like muscle pain and weakness. Additionally PGM1 defects can impact another protein phosphoglucomutase-3 (PGM3) which shares pathway similarities and potentially affects the synthesis of other phosphorylated sugars related to immune function. These connections highlight the importance of functional PGM1 in maintaining normal physiological and disease-free states.
