A mutase is an enzyme that catalyzes the shifting of a functional group from one position to another within the same molecule. Examples of this are bisphosphoglycerate mutase, which appears in red blood cells and phosphoglycerate mutase, which acts in glycolysis. In glycolysis, it changes 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate. In particular it moves phosphate groups within a single molecule, for instance: phosphoglyerate mutase.
