Background: PGK1
Phosphoglycerate kinase-1 (PGK-1) is a glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 1,3-diphosphoglycerate to 3 phosphoglycerate. The gene encoding PGK-1 is X-linked. Mutations of this gene may cause phosphoglycerate kinase deficiency, which is characterized by hemolytic anemia, muscle stiffness and mental retardation (1‑3). PGK 1 is induced by oxidative stress through the induction of hypoxia-inducible factor 1a and is a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for cancer (4‑7).
