[[Pyruvate Kinase]] is an enzyme that is involved in glycolysis. Pyruvate kinase’s function is to catalyze the last step of glycolysis; thereby, generating the second ATP of glycolysis and pyruvate. It is able to catalyze this step by transferring the phosphate group from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to ADP <ref>{{book |author=Voet, Donald; Voet, Judith C.; Pratt, Charlotte W.|title=Fundamentals of Biochemistry: Life at the Molecular Level|edition= 3|pages=501|}}</ref>. | [[Pyruvate Kinase]] is an enzyme that is involved in glycolysis.
