Targeting the glycolytic enzyme PFKL can effectively block neutrophil activation, which may have therapeutic benefits for infectious and inflammatory diseases.
Selectively targeting facets of neutrophil function could benefit infectious and inflammatory diseases. Amara et al. report on a compound which blocks human neutrophil activation by activating the glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase, liver type (PFKL). Altering glucose fate by modulating this key enzymatic step could dramatically alter the function and fate of phagocytes.
