Marker
  • PKM/TRIM35 expression could be a biomarker for the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
  • Therapy target
    SystemTypeDisorderPubmed
    cancer  
    because most normal tissues express an isoform of pyruvate kinase other than PKM2, selective targeting of PKM2 provides an opportunity to target cell metabolism for cancer therapy
