Abstract excerpt
Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is a key glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible phosphotransfer reaction from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to MgADP, to form 3-phosphoglycerate and MgATP. Two isozymes encoded by distinct genes are present in humans: PGK-1, located on Xq-13.3, encodes a ubiquitous protein of 417 amino acids, whereas PGK-2 is testis-specific. PGK1 deficiency is characterized by mild to severe...
