Gene information for PKLR (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5313
Official gene symbolPKLR
Full namepyruvate kinase, liver and RBC
Aliases,PK1,PKL,PKR,PKRL,RPK,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a pyruvate kinase that catalyzes the transphosphorylation of phohsphoenolpyruvate into pyruvate and ATP, which is the rate-limiting step of glycolysis. Defects in this enzyme, due to gene mutations or genetic variations, are the common cause of chronic hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia (CNSHA or HNSHA). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
