Phosphomannomutase 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PMM2 gene.[1][2]

Phosphomannomutase 2 catalyzes the isomerization of mannose 6-phosphate to mannose 1-phosphate. Mannose 1-phosphate is a precursor to GDP-mannose necessary for the synthesis of dolichol-P-oligosaccharides. Mutations in the gene have been shown to cause defects in the protein glycosylation pathway manifest as carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type I.[2]

This enzyme has been found in the venom of social wasp species Polistes major major. [3]
