TP53 and cancer: For example, wild-type TP53 is able to inhibit glycolysis by suppressing the expression of GLUT1, GLUT3, and GLUT4 (160, 161), and regulating the expression of enzymes involved in the glycolytic pathway, such as HK2 (162), phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK1) (163), phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM) (163), pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), parkin 2 (PARK2) (164), and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK2) (165). TP53 also regulates mitochondrial respiration in cancer progression.
