PFKM phosphofructokinase, muscle

Gene ID: 5213, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GSD7; PFK1; PFKA; PFKX; PFK-1; PFK-A; ATP-PFK; PPP1R122

Summary

Three phosphofructokinase isozymes exist in humans: muscle, liver and platelet. These isozymes function as subunits of the mammalian tetramer phosphofructokinase, which catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. Tetramer composition varies depending on tissue type. This gene encodes the muscle-type isozyme. Mutations in this gene have been associated with glycogen storage disease type VII, also known as Tarui disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
