General description

SAICAR is an intermediate in purine metabolism. SAICAR is converted from 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl) imidazole-4-carboxylate (CAIR, Carboxy-AIR, carboxyaminoimidazole ribotide; CAS 6001-14-5) by phosphoribosylaminoimidazole-succinocarboxamide synthase (SAICAR synthase). SAICAR (a ribotide) can lose its phosphate group leading to the appearance of a riboside known as succinylaminoimidazolecarboxamide riboside (SAICAriboside or SAICAr) in cerebrospinal fluid, in urine, and, to a lesser extent, in plasma. When present in sufficiently high levels, SAICAR can act as an oncometabolite, where it promotes tumour growth & survival under glucose-limited conditions by stimulating pyruvate kinase isoform M2 (PKM2) and promoting aerobic glycolysis.

Abnormal metabolism and sustained proliferation are hallmarks of cancer. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is a metabolic enzyme that plays important roles in both processes. Recently, PKM2 was shown to have protein kinase activity phosphorylating histone H3 and promoting cancer cell
