Phosphoglycerate kinase, yeast

Phosphoglycerate kinase, yeast (PGK), namely phosphoglycerate kinase, is a glycolytic enzyme commonly used in biochemical research. Phosphoglycerate kinase can catalyze the reversible transfer of phosphate groups from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (1,3-BPG) to ADP to generate 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PG) and ATP. At the same time, it can also participate in gluconeogenesis, catalyzing the opposite reaction to produce 1,3BPGA and ADP. Phosphoglycerate kinase is involved in energy metabolism, interaction with nucleic acid, tumor progression, cell death and virus replication and other related processes[1].
