Glucose metabolism in triple-negative breast cancer cells (WP5211)

Homo sapiens

Glucose metabolism in triple-negative breast cancer cells. The glycolytic pathway is significantly upregulated in triple-negative breast tumors. The genes coding the key glycolytic enzymes are overexpressed in triple-negative breast tumors. TCA, tricarboxylic acid cycle; G6P, glucose-6-phosphate; F6P, fructose-6-phosphate; F1,6P, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate; PEP, phosphoenolpyruvate; OAA, oxaloacetate; α-KG, α-ketoglutarate; GLUT, glucose transporter; HK, hexokinase; PFK, phosphofructokinase; PKM2, pyruvate kinase isozyme type 2; LDHA, lactate dehydrogenase A; MCT1, monocarboxylate transporter 1; PDK1, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1; PDH, pyruvate dehydrogenase.
