Background
There are 4 isozymes of pyruvate kinase in mammals: L, R, M1 and M2. PKM2 is a pyruvate kinase that catalyzes the production of phosphoenolpyruvate from pyruvate and ATP. This protein has been shown to interact with thyroid hormone, and thus may mediate cellular metabolic effects induced by thyroid hormones. This protein has been found to bind Opa protein, a bacterial outer membrane protein involved in gonococcal adherence to and invasion of human cells, suggesting a role of this protein in bacterial pathogenesis.Synonyms: CTHBP, Cytosolic thyroid hormone-binding protein, M2-PK, OIP-3, OIP3, Opa-interacting protein 3, PK2, PK3, PKM, Pyruvate kinase 2/3, Pyruvate kinase M1/M2, Pyruvate kinase isozymes M1/M2, Pyruvate kinase muscle, Pyruvate kinase muscle isozyme, THBP1
