Phosphoglycerate kinase (
- 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + ADP ⇌ glycerate 3-phosphate + ATP
Like all kinases it is a transferase. PGK is a major enzyme used in glycolysis, in the first ATP-generating step of the glycolytic pathway. In gluconeogenesis, the reaction catalyzed by PGK proceeds in the opposite direction, generating ADP and 1,3-BPG.
In humans, two
Biological function
PGK is present in all living organisms as one of the two ATP-generating enzymes in glycolysis. In the gluconeogenic pathway, PGK catalyzes the reverse reaction. Under biochemical

PGK has been reported to exhibit thiol
The human isozyme PGK2, which is only expressed during spermatogenesis, was shown to be essential for sperm function in mice.[4]

Overview
PGK is found in all living organisms and its sequence has been
The enzyme has a tendency to exist in the open conformation with short periods of closure and catalysis, which allow for rapid

Regulation
The enzyme is activated by low concentrations of various multivalent anions, such as pyrophosphate, sulfate, phosphate, and citrate. High concentrations of MgATP and 3-PG activates PGK, while Mg2+ at high concentrations non-competitively inhibits the enzyme.[13]
PGK exhibits a wide specificity toward nucleotide substrates.[14] Its activity is inhibited by salicylates, which appear to mimic the enzyme's nucleotide substrate.[15]
Macromolecular crowding has been shown to increase PGK activity in both computer simulations and in vitro environments simulating a cell interior; as a result of crowding, the enzyme becomes more enzymatically active and more compact.[5]
