This enzyme is third site that allows glycolysis to be continuously regulated and it is able to convert phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) into the two pyruvate end products of glycolysis. As a result of this conversion, the concentration of ATP is increased in the cell but having this much concentration of ATP prevents the enzyme pyruvate kinase. Furthermore, pyruvate kinase is is open to negative feedback if at any point glycolysis is running too hot. Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) is a positive effector where it is an allosteric feed-forward activator and this causes the reaction of pyruvate kinase to continue. Alanine is biosynthesized from pyruvate also becomes a factor that is able to prevent glycolysis regulation. The ATP and alanine can bind
