In enzymology, a phosphoacetylglucosamine mutase (EC 5.4.2.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine 1-phosphate N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine 1-phosphate, and one product, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 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 N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine 1,6-phosphomutase. Other names in common use include acetylglucosamine phosphomutase, acetylglucosamine phosphomutase, acetylaminodeoxyglucose phosphomutase, phospho-N-acetylglucosamine mutase, and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 1,6-phosphomutase. This enzyme participates in aminosugars metabolism. This enzyme has at least one effector, N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine 1,6-bisphosphate.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 4 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1WJW, 2DKA, 2DKC, and 2DKD.
