OverviewNCBI Gene

Three phosphofructokinase isozymes exist in humans: muscle, liver and platelet. These isozymes function as subunits of the mammalian tetramer phosphofructokinase, which catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. Tetramer composition varies depending on tissue type. This gene encodes the muscle-type isozyme. Mutations in this gene have been associated with glycogen storage disease type VII, also known as Tarui disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PFKM can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PFKM as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PFKM could matter depends on whether native PFKM is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PFKM is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PFKM as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
