  • (phosphoglycerate mutase family) A family of proteins whose members are involved in glycolysis. This family is comprised of three isozymes that are either homodimers or heterodimers of phosphoglycerate mutase 1 and 2. These enzymes have multiple reversible isomerase and phosphatase activities. During glycolysis these enzymes can interconvert 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate through a 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate intermediate.
