NCIt synonyms : HBeAg Binding Protein 4; EC 2.7.1.31; HBeAg-Binding Protein 4; GLYCTK;
NCIt definition : Glycerate kinase (523 aa, 55 kDa) is encoded by the human GLYCTK gene. This protein
plays a role in the conversion of D-glycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate.;
NCIt note : At least 7 isoforms of glycerate kinase are produced by alternative splicing including
isoform 2 (GLYCTK2), which is composed of 234 amino acids ( 25 kDa). GLYCTK2 is the
product of a variant transcript that is lacking exon 4 and is localized to the mitochondrial
matrix as well as the cytoplasm. (OMIM and UniProt);
