Gene: PFKM
Official Full Name: phosphofructokinase, muscleprovided by HGNC
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.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

PFKM Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines developed through the targeted disruption of the phosphofructokinase, muscle (PFKM) gene, which plays a crucial role in glycolysis and energy metabolism. This innovative cellular tool allows researchers to investigate the metabolic pathways and physiological mechanisms influenced by PFKM. By implementing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, these cell lines efficiently facilitate the study of PFKM function and its implications in various physiological and pathological contexts.
The primary function of PFKM Gene Knockout Cell Lines revolves around their ability to provide insights into the glycolytic pathway's regulation and its contribution to energy homeostasis. With PFKM being a key regulatory enzyme in converting fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, the knockout models serve as critical resources to elucidate its functions in muscle metabolism and its potential roles in conditions like diabetes and certain muscle disorders. Researchers can leverage these models to explore the cellular adaptations that occur in the absence of PFKM, leading to the identification of novel therapeutic targets.
The scientific importance of PFKM Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond metabolic research to impact areas such as cancer biology, where altered glycolysis plays a significant role in tumorigenesis. The ability to analyze the metabolic reprogramming in these cell lines provides valuable data for understanding disease mechanisms and developing targeted treatments.
