Exploring glycolytic enzymes in disease: potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in neurodegeneration, cancer and parasitic infections by Maura Rojas-Pirela, Diego Andrade-Alviárez, Verónica Rojas, Miguel Marcos, Daniel Salete-Granado, Marirene Chacón-Arnaude, María Á. Pérez-Nieto, Ulrike Kemmerling, Juan Luis Concepción, Paul A. M. Michels, Wilfredo Quiñones

“…Although energy transduction by glucose metabolism is the main function of this pathway, involvement in virulence, growth, pathogen–host interactions, immunomodulation and adaptation to environmental conditions are other functions attributed to this metabolic pathway. In humans, where glycolysis occurs mainly in the cytosol, the mislocalization of some glycolytic enzymes in various other subcellular locations, as well as alterations in their expression and regulation, has been associated with the development and progression of various diseases. …”
