The TP53-inducible glycolysis and apoptosis regulator (TIGAR) also known as fructose-26-bisphosphatase TIGAR is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the C12orf5 gene.TIGAR is a recently discovered enzyme that primarily functions as a regulator of glucose breakdown in human cells. In addition to its role in controlling glucose degradation TIGAR activity can allow a cell to carry out DNA repair and the degradation of its own organelles. Finally TIGAR can protect a cell from death.
