Phosphoglucomutase is classified as an isomerase enzyme. Isomerases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the interconversion of isomers, which are molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements. In the case of phosphoglucomutase, it facilitates the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate into glucose-6-phosphate by rearranging the positions of phosphate groups within the molecule. This rearrangement is a structural isomerization reaction, and thus, phosphoglucomutase is classified as an isomerase enzyme.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
