Background: Anti-PKM2 Antibody was designed, produced, and validated as part of the Joy Cappel Young Investigator Award (JCYIA). Pyruvate kinase has been shown to be expressed in tumor, embryonic and normal proliferating cells in varying levels. Studies show that when PKM2 is secreted it can induce EGFR phosphorylation which stimulates the EGFR downstream pathway. Previously PKM has been shown to be critical for aerobic glycolysis. Four isoforms of PKM play alternative roles within the system and post-translational modifications along these isoforms induce multiple pathways making this Anti-PKM2 antibody ideal for investigators involved in cancer research and post-translational modifications.

Gene Name: PKM

Purification: Anti-PKM2 is directed against human PKM2 at an internal position. This product is an affinity purified antibody produced by immunoaffinity chromatography using peptide coupled to agarose beads.  A BLAST analysis was used to suggest reactivity with this protein in African frog and rat based on 100% homology and rabbit and mouse based on 93.3% homology for the immunogen sequence.

Immunogen:

Immunogen: Affinity purified Anti-PKM2 antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide near the internal portion of human PKM2 protein.

Immunogen Type: Peptide

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes:

Application Note: This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in western blot.  Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band 56-58 kDa in size corresponding to PKM2 by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
