PGK1 is a monomeric enzyme composed of 417 amino acids . The human recombinant form of PGK1 is typically expressed in Escherichia coli or Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf 21) cells using baculovirus expression systems . The recombinant protein is often tagged with a His-tag to facilitate purification and detection .
The recombinant PGK1 protein is biologically active and retains its enzymatic function. It is used in various biochemical assays to study glycolysis and energy metabolism . The specific activity of recombinant PGK1 can be measured by NADH production in a reaction coupled with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) .
The production of recombinant PGK1 involves several steps:
PGK1 is not only a key player in glycolysis but also acts as a cofactor for polymerase alpha, indicating its involvement in DNA replication . Its role in cancer metabolism has garnered significant interest, as cancer cells often exhibit altered glycolytic activity. Understanding the function and regulation of PGK1 can provide insights into cancer biology and potential therapeutic targets .
