Description: PKM (Pyruvate Kinase, Muscle), also known as OIP-3, PK3 and PKM2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PKM gene. The activity of pyruvate kinase subtype M2 is increased by fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate (Fru-1, 6-P2). By in situ hybridization, Popescu and Cheng (1990) mapped the THBP1 gene to 15q24-q25. Ashizawa et al. (1991) manipulated the intracellular Fru-1, 6-P2 concentration in several mammalian cell lines, including human, by varying the glucose concentration in the media. Using a novel proteomic screen for phosphotyrosine-binding proteins, Christofk et al. (2008) observed that PKM2 binds directly and selectively to tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides.

Immunogen: N-terminal region amino acids KDPVQEAWAEDVDLRVNFAMNVGKAR from the human protein were used as the immunogen for the Pyruvate Kinase antibody.

Storage: After reconstitution, the Pyruvate Kinase antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
