Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Phosphoglyceric acid
Description3-Phosphoglyceric acid, also known as glycerate 3-phosphate or 3-PG, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar acids and derivatives. Sugar acids and derivatives are compounds containing a saccharide unit which bears a carboxylic acid group. 3-Phosphoglyceric acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3-Phosphoglyceric acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.

Carbohydrate transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes one of the two ATP producing reactions in the glycolytic pathway via the reversible conversion of 1,3-diphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate. In addition to its role as a glycolytic enzyme, it seems that PGK-1 acts as a polymerase alpha cofactor protein (primer recognition protein). May play a role in sperm motility.
