Such a dominant negative impaired function of PKM2 in tumor development is not known; also evidencing for the first time the possible predisposition of BS patients with impaired PKM2 activity to cancer, and the importance of studying genetic variations in PKM2 in future to understand their relevance in cancer in general.

Human PKM2 monomer has 531 amino acids and is a single chain divided into A, B and C domains. ... causing pyruvate kinase to function normally and gluconeogenesis to ...
Depending upon the different metabolic functions of the tissues, different isoenzymes of pyruvate kinase are expressed. M2-PK ( PKM2 ) is the predominant pyruvate kinase isoform in proliferating cells, such as fibroblasts , embryonic cells and adult stem cells and most human tissue, including lung, bladder, kidney and thymus; M2-PK is ...
[16] [17] It has been observed in some studies that MYC promotes expression of PKM2 over PKM1 by modulating exon splicing. [5] A key molecule produced as a result of the oxidative PPP by PKM2 is NADPH. NADPH functions as a cofactor and provides reducing power in many enzymatic reactions that are crucial for macromolecular biosynthesis.

When pyruvate kinase – the enzyme that normally catalyzes the reaction that converts PEP to pyruvate – is knocked out in mutants of Bacillus subtilis, PEPCK participates in one of the replacement anaplerotic reactions, working in the reverse direction of its normal function, converting PEP to OAA.

CCs primarily support growth and development of the oocyte whereas MGCs primarily serve an endocrine function and support the growth of the follicle. Cumulus cells aid in oocyte development and show higher expression of SLC38A3, a transporter for amino acids, and Aldoa, Eno1, Ldh1, Pfkp, Pkm2, and Tpi1, enzymes responsible for glycolysis. [7]
Tumor stroma and extracellular matrix in hypoxia. Tumor hypoxia is the situation where tumor cells have been deprived of oxygen.As a tumor grows, it rapidly outgrows its blood supply, leaving portions of the tumor with regions where the oxygen concentration is significantly lower than in healthy tissues.
