Gene information for PGK2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5232
Official gene symbolPGK2
Full namephosphoglycerate kinase 2
Aliases,PGK-2,PGKB,PGKPS,dJ417L20.2,
Gene summaryThis 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.
