mutase

 [mu´tās]
any of a group of enzymes (transferases) that catalyze the intramolecular shifting of a chemical group from one position to another.

mu·tase

(myū'tās),
Any enzyme that catalyzes the apparent migration of groups within one molecule, for example, phosphoglycerate phosphomutase; sometimes the transfer is from one molecule to another, for example, phosphoglucomutase, phosphoglyceromutase (both phosphotransferases).
