  1. Pyruvate kinase isozymes and regulation There are four isoenzymes of PK: PKL (liver) and PKR (erythrocytes) are produced from PKLR gene PKM1 (muscle an brain) and PKM2 (fetal and most tissues) produced from PKM gene. The PKLR are allosterically regulated: inhibited by phosphorylation by protein kinase A, ATP, acetyl-CoA, alanine, and long-chain fatty acids activated by F1,6-BP. The liver enzyme is also controlled at the level of synthesis. Increased carbohydrate ingestion induces the synthesis of PK.

  2. Fetal PK In erythrocytes, the fetal PK isozyme has much greater activity than the adult isozymes. Fetal erythrocytes have lower concentrations of glycolytic intermediates including 1,3BPG, (and 2,3BPG)
