Gene: PFKM
Alternate names for this Gene: ATP-PFK|GSD7|PFK-1|PFK-A|PFK1|PFKA|PFKX|PPP1R122
Gene 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 12
