Summary: This gene is intronless, arose via retrotransposition of the phosphoglycerate kinase 1 gene, and is expressed specifically in the testis. Initially assumed to be a pseudogene, the encoded protein is actually a functional phosphoglycerate kinase that catalyzes the reversible conversion of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate, during the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway of glycolysis, in the later stages of spermatogenesis.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Title: The Germ Cell-Specific Markers ZPBP2 and PGK2 in Testicular Biopsies Can Predict the Presence as well as the Quality of Sperm in Non-obstructive Azoospermia Patients.
Study of (Co-IP) and reverse co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) of CBP86-IV (TSCBP86-IV or CABYR) in human sperm cell lysate identified phosphoglycerate kinase 2 (PGK2) as interacting partner of CABYR. Protein interactions were further confirmed by yeast two-hybrid system.
Title: Testis-specific calcium-binding protein CBP86-IV (CABYR) binds with phosphoglycerate kinase 2 in vitro and in vivo experiment.
Data from studies in transgenic mice suggest that Pgk2 core promoter elements are required to direct demethylation of DNA and reconfiguration of nucleosomes in testis during sexual maturation and spermatogenesis.
Title: Sequence-specific promoter elements regulate temporal-specific changes in chromatin required for testis-specific activation of the Pgk2 gene.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
