Pkm Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables mRNA binding activity and pyruvate kinase activity. Involved in canonical glycolysis and positive regulation of cytoplasmic translation. Located in cilium and rough endoplasmic reticulum. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PKM (pyruvate kinase M1/2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Pkm often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
