Biochem/physiol Actions

The Phosphoglucomutase Colorimetric Assay kit provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring PGM activity in a variety of samples. PGM activity is determined by a coupled enzyme assay in which glucose-1-phosphate is converted by PGM to glucose-6-phosphate. Glucose-6-phosphate is subsequently oxidized to form a product, which reacts with a probe generating a colorimetric (450 nm) product proportional to the PGM activity present. One unit of PGM is the amount of enzyme that will generate 1.0 μmole of NADH per minute at pH 8.0 at room temperature.

General description

Phosphoglucomutase (PGM) is an enzyme crucial for the interconversion of glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate. In glycogenolysis, PGM converts glucose-1-phosphate into glucose-6-phosphate for use in either the glycolytic pathway or pentose phosphate pathway. When blood glucose levels are high, PGM will convert excess glucose-6-phosphate (formed from glucose by the action of hexokinase) to glucose-1-phosphate.
Deficiency of phosphoglucomutase leads to glycogen storage disease.

Cardiac energy demands during early embryonic periods are sufficiently met through glycolysis, but as development proceeds, the oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria becomes increasingly vital. Adrenergic hormones are known to stimulate metabolism in adult mammals and are essential for embryonic development
