α-D-Glucose-1,6-bisphosphate is a bis-phosphorylated derivative of α-D-glucose that has roles in carbohydrate metabolism.1 It is the product of the reaction of glucose-1- or 6-phosphate with glucose-1,6-bisphosphate synthase (PGM2LI) in the conversion of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate.2 It is also a cofactor for the bacterial enzyme phosphopentomutase.3,4 α-D-Glucose-1,6-bisphosphate has been used in the study of carbohydrate metabolism.
