Pyruvate kinase
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Pyruvate kinase is an enzyme involved in glycolysis. It catalyzes the transfer of a phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate to ADP, yielding a pyruvate molecule. This process requires magnesium ion. This produces one molecule of ATP from the ADP. It is a hydrolase under the international classification of enzymes.
