PGAM2 is the muscle (M) isoform of phosphoglycerate mutase, a cytosolic enzyme of the cofactor-dependent phosphoglycerate mutase (histidine-phosphatase) superfamily. It catalyzes the reversible interconversion of 3-phosphoglycerate and 2-phosphoglycerate, the eighth step of the glycolytic payoff phase (and the corresponding reverse step in gluconeogenesis). Catalysis proceeds through a phospho-histidine enzyme intermediate and requires 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate as a cofactor/primer; the enzyme also displays a minor bisphosphoglycerate mutase/phosphatase side activity. Active human phosphoglycerate mutase is a dimer assembled from muscle (PGAM2/M) and brain (PGAM1/B) subunits; skeletal muscle expresses essentially the PGAM2 homodimer, whereas erythrocytes express PGAM1. PGAM2 is expressed predominantly in heart and skeletal muscle. Loss-of-function variants cause glycogen storage disease type X (muscle phosphoglycerate mutase deficiency), manifesting as exercise intolerance, muscle cramps, and myoglobinuria/rhabdomyolysis.

Reason: The reaction chemistry participates in gluconeogenesis, but the muscle isoform's core in-vivo role is glycolytic; muscle does not perform gluconeogenesis, so this is retained as a non-core, reaction-shared process rather than PGAM2's primary physiological function.

description: >-
PGAM2 is the muscle (M) isoform of phosphoglycerate mutase, a cytosolic enzyme
of the cofactor-dependent phosphoglycerate mutase (histidine-phosphatase)
superfamily. It catalyzes the reversible interconversion of 3-phosphoglycerate
and 2-phosphoglycerate, the eighth step of the glycolytic payoff phase (and the
corresponding reverse step in gluconeogenesis). Catalysis proceeds through a
phospho-histidine enzyme intermediate and requires 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate as a
cofactor/primer; the enzyme also displays a minor bisphosphoglycerate
mutase/phosphatase side activity. Active human phosphoglycerate mutase is a
dimer assembled from muscle (PGAM2/M) and brain (PGAM1/B) subunits; skeletal
muscle expresses essentially the PGAM2 homodimer, whereas erythrocytes express
PGAM1. PGAM2 is expressed predominantly in heart and skeletal muscle.
Loss-of-function variants cause glycogen storage disease type X (muscle
phosphoglycerate mutase deficiency), manifesting as exercise intolerance,
muscle cramps, and myoglobinuria/rhabdomyolysis.

First description of human muscle PGAM deficiency (GSD X): muscle PGAM activity
5.7% of control, residual activity is BB isozyme, implicating the M subunit.
Directly supports the core catalytic and glycolytic roles of PGAM2; the
muscle-contraction annotation from this paper is a downstream phenotype.
