Pyruvate Kinase, Muscle, also known as PK3 or PKM2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PKM gene. The activity of pyruvate kinase subtype M2 is increased by fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate(Fru-1, 6-P2). By in situ hybridization, Popescu and Cheng (1990) mapped the gene to 15q24-q25. Ashizawa et al.(1991) manipulated the intracellular Fru-1, 6-P2 concentration in several mammalian cell lines, including human, by varying the glucose concentration in the media. Using a novel proteomic screen for phosphotyrosine-binding proteins, Christofk et al.(2008) observed that PKM2 binds directly and selectively to tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides.
