In enzymology a phosphomannomutase (EC 5.4.2.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionalpha-D-mannose 1-phosphate D-mannose 6-phosphateHence this enzyme has one substrate alpha-D-mannose 1-phosphate and one product D-mannose 6-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases specifically the phosphotransferases (phosphomutases) which transfer phosphate groups within a molecule. The systematic name of this enzyme class is alpha-D-mannose 16-phosphomutase.
