α-D-Glucose 1-phosphate disodium salt is converted into D-glucose-6-phosphate by the enzyme phosphoglucomutase.

α-D-Glucose-1-phosphate disodium hydrate serves multiple roles in medical and biochemical applications, including as a precursor in the synthesis of glucuronic acid, a cytostatic compound crucial for cardiopathic therapy, an antibiotic, an immunosuppressive agent, and a component in circulatory system therapy [1].
