Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ α-D-Glucose 1-phosphate is converted into D-glucose-6-phosphate by the enzyme phosphoglucomutase._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 1, 5, 10, 25, 100 g in poly bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) is produced from glycogen during glycogenolysis by the actions of glycogen phosphorylase. Conversion to glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) by phosphoglucomutase allows for entry of the glucose molecule into metabolic pathways such as glycolysis. During glycogenesis, G6P is converted to G1P by the actions of phosphoglucose isomerase._x000D_ Preparation Note_x000D_ Prepared by a modification of the procedure of McCready, R.M., et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 66, 560 (1944).
