PMM2 phosphomannomutase 2

Gene ID: 5373, updated on 4-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PMI; CDG1; CDGS; PMI1; CDG1a; PMM 2

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the isomerization of mannose 6-phosphate to mannose 1-phosphate, which is a precursor to GDP-mannose necessary for the synthesis of dolichol-P-oligosaccharides. Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause defects in glycoprotein biosynthesis, which manifests as carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type I. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
