Abstract excerpt
The key metabolic enzyme phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) controls glucose homeostasis in most human cells. Four proteins related to PGM1, known as PGM2, PGM2L1, PGM3 and PGM5, and referred to herein as paralogs, are encoded in the human genome. Although all members of the same enzyme superfamily, these proteins have distinct substrate preferences and different functional roles. The recent association of PGM1 and PGM3...
