Pyruvate kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP to pyruvate and ATP in glycolysis and plays a role in regulating cell metabolism. Mammalian pyruvate kinase exists in four isoforms, each of which has distinct tissue expression patterns and regulatory characteristics. Animals have four tissue-specific isozymes of pyruvate kinase: PKL, PKR, PKM1, and PKM2. While PKM2 is expressed in early embryonic cells and other proliferating cells, and PKM1 is expressed in the brain, skeletal muscle, and heart, which require high levels of energy, the L and R isozymes are found in the liver (L) and red blood cells (R), respectively.
PKM1 and PKM2 are created by alternative splicing from a single mRNA transcript of the PKM gene. PKM2 oligomers come in both low activity dimer and high activity tetramer forms. The dimer PKM2 controls the rate-limiting step of glycolysis, which causes tumor cells to produce lactate instead of using the normal respiratory chain for the metabolism of glucose. In addition to controlling metabolism, it also functions as a protein kinase, which aids in the development of tumors. PKM2 is a promising target for the treatment of cancer.
