Scientific Background: PKM2 functions as a glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to ADP, and generates ATP. It stimulates POU5F1-mediated transcriptional activation. It appears to plays a general role in caspase independent cell death of tumour cells. The ratio between its highly active tetrameric form and nearly inactive dimeric form determines whether glucose carbons are channeled to biosynthetic processes or used for glycolytic ATP production. The transition between the 2 forms contributes to the control of glycolysis and is thought to be important for tumour cell proliferation and survival.
