Molecular insights on pathogenic effects of mutations causing phosphoglycerate kinase deficiency.

Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) catalyzes an important ATP-generating step in glycolysis. PGK1 deficiency is an uncommon X-linked inherited disorder, generally characterized by various combinations of non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia, neurological dysfunctions, and myopathies. Patients rarely exhibit...

description Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) catalyzes an important ATP-generating step in glycolysis.
