title: [Research progress in phosphoglycerate mutase].
abstract: Phosphoglycerate mutase (PGAM) is one of glycolytic enzymes, concerning with the transport of carbohydrates, metabolism, catalytic activity and growth development. PGAM was discovered in yeast firstly, and with its amino acid sequence and crystal structure determined, this protein was found in varies organism, such as human, Escherichia coli, Schistosoma japonicum and Toxoplasma gondii. This article reviews the physico-chemical property and research progress of PGAM of vertebrate, invertebrate and protozoa.
