PGK1

SYNONYMS
Phosphoglycerate kinase 1, Primer recognition protein 2, Cell migration-inducing gene 10 protein, PRP 2, PGKA, MIG10, MGC8947, MGC117307, MGC142128, PGK1.

INTRODUCTION
PGK1 is an X-linked enzyme that has a major role in the glycolytic pathway. PGK1 is a glycolytic enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of 1,3-diphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate, generating an ATP molecule. PGK1 may also act as a cofactor for polymerase alpha. Defects in the PGK1 gene are usually associated with chronic hemolytic anemia, though it can be accompanied by either mental retardation or muscular disease (rhabdomyolysis). Overexpression of PGK1 and its signalling targets are possibly an expression-pathway in diffuse primary gastric carcinomas promoting peritoneal dissemination. It was shown that PGK1 is differentially expressed in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex from patients with schizophrenia.

DESCRIPTION
PGK1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 437 amino acids (1-417 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 46.8kDa. PGK1 is fused to 20 a.a. His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
