Descriptions

Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) plays a vital role in glycolysis, and it catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate with the production of ATP in the final reaction of glycolysis. PKM2 provides an in vivo growth advantage in cancer cells. Pyruvate Kinase isozymes type PKM1, PKL, and PKR exist in unstable and high-activity tetramer forms, whereas PKM2 is found in both a highly active tetramer form and a low-activity dimer form. The switch between dimer and tetramer is allosterically modulated by the binding of ligands such as amino acids and metabolic intermediates to the regulatory C-terminal domain. Post-translational modifications at specific residues relieve this inhibition, allowing metabolic flux.

Name Definition
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.

5 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
ATP binding Binding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.
kinase activity Catalysis of the transfer of a phosphate group, usually from ATP, to a substrate molecule.
magnesium ion binding Binding to a magnesium (Mg) ion.
potassium ion binding Binding to a potassium ion (K+).
pyruvate kinase activity Catalysis of the reaction

8 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
canonical glycolysis The glycolytic process that begins with the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate by glucokinase activity. Glycolytic processes are the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of a carbohydrate into pyruvate, with the concomitant production of a small amount of ATP.
cellular response to insulin stimulus Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an insulin stimulus. Insulin is a polypeptide hormone produced by the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas in mammals, and by the homologous organs of other organisms.
glucose homeostasis Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of glucose within an organism or cell.
glycolytic process The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of a carbohydrate into pyruvate, with the concomitant production of a small amount of ATP and the reduction of NAD(P) to NAD(P)H. Glycolysis begins with the metabolism of a carbohydrate to generate products that can enter the pathway and ends with the production of pyruvate. Pyruvate may be converted to acetyl-coenzyme A, ethanol, lactate, or other small molecules.
phosphorylation The process of introducing a phosphate group into a molecule, usually with the formation of a phosphoric ester, a phosphoric anhydride or a phosphoric amide.
pyruvate biosynthetic process The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of pyruvate, 2-oxopropanoate.
pyruvate metabolic process The chemical reactions and pathways involving pyruvate, 2-oxopropanoate.
response to sucrose Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a sucrose stimulus.
