PGK1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His)

Phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) is an enzyme. It is mainly expressed in spermatogonia and Localized on the principle piece in the sperm. Its expression significantly decreased in the testis of elderly men. PGK1 involved in a critical energy-producing process known as glycolysis. It helps carry out a chemical reaction that converts a molecule called 1,3-diphosphoglycerate, which is produced during the breakdown of glucose, to another molecule called 3-phosphoglycerate during glycolysis. PGK1 may also act as a cofactor for polymerase alpha. The protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions.
