| phosphoglycerate |
A three-carbon molecule formed when carbon dioxide is added to ribulose biphosphate (RuBP) during the dark reaction of photosynthesis (Calvin, or Calvin-Benson Cycle). PGA is converted to PGAL, using ATP and NADPH.

| phosphoglycerate kinase |
[EC 2.7.2.3] an enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of 3-phosphoglycerate to form 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. The reaction is an important energy-transducing step in carbohydrate metabolism. As written, the reaction drives gluconeogenesis; the reverse reaction generates ATP in the catabolism of glucose (see illustration at Embden-Meyerhof pathway, under pathway). Deficiency of the enzyme, an X-linked trait, causes hemolytic anemia, mental retardation, and behavioral and neurologic abnormalities.

| phosphoglycerate mutase |
[EC 5.4.2.1] an enzyme of the isomerase class that catalyzes the interconversion of 3-phosphoglycerate and 2-phosphoglycerate, a step in the Embden-Meyerhof pathway (see illustration at pathway). The enzyme requires the presence of a small amount of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, which is also an intermediate. Called also phosphoglyceromutase.
