The pyruvate kinase type M2 (PKM2) has a well-established role in cancer due to its functions in regulating glucose metabolism, G1-S transition and mitotic checkpoint. Here the authors identified a novel role for PKM2 in regulating cytokinesis in cancer cells through the phosphorylation of the myosin light chain 2 at the contractile ring.
