EC 5.4.2.4

Accepted name: bisphosphoglycerate mutase

Reaction: 3-phospho-D-glyceroyl phosphate = 2,3-bisphospho-D-glycerate

Other name(s): diphosphoglycerate mutase; glycerate phosphomutase; bisphosphoglycerate synthase; bisphosphoglyceromutase; biphosphoglycerate synthase; diphosphoglyceric mutase; 2,3-diphosphoglycerate mutase; phosphoglyceromutase; 2,3-diphosphoglycerate synthase; DPGM; 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate mutase; BPGM; diphosphoglyceromutase; 2,3-diphosphoglyceromutase

Systematic name: 3-phospho-D-glycerate 1,2-phosphomutase

Comments: In the direction shown, this enzyme is phosphorylated by 3-phosphoglyceroyl phosphate, to give phosphoenzyme and 3-phosphoglycerate. The latter is rephosphorylated by the enzyme to yield 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, but this reaction is slowed by dissociation of 3-phosphoglycerate from the enzyme, which is therefore more active in the presence of added 3-phosphoglycerate. This enzyme also catalyses, slowly, the reactions of EC 3.1.3.13 (bisphosphoglycerate phosphatase), EC 5.4.2.11 [phosphoglycerate mutase (2,3-diphosphoglycerate-dependent)] and EC 5.4.2.12 [phosphoglycerate mutase (2,3-diphosphoglycerate-independent)].
