description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables phosphoglucomutase activity. Involved in glycogen biosynthetic process and glycogen catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within glucose metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; liver; oocyte; respiratory system; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human PGM2 (phosphoglucomutase 2). PHENOTYPE: Four electrophoretic variants are known, each with a 5-band pattern: the a allele in C57BL/6, BALB/c and AKR; b allele in DBA/2 and SJL; c allele in C3H/He; and d allele in 129/Re. Heterozygotes show a mixture of bands. Mice homozygous for a spontaneous null allele or ENU induced alleles are viable. [provided by MGI curators] |
