Gene:
phosphomannomutase 2
Gene ID:
190938
Symbol:
PMM2
Species:
1000
Description:
Phosphomannomutase 2 catalyzes the isomerization of mannose 6-phosphate to mannose 1-phosphate. Mannose 1-phosphate is a precursor to GDP-mannose necessary for the synthesis of dolichol-P-oligosaccharides. Mutations in the gene have been shown to cause defects in the protein glycosylation pathway manifest as carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type I.
