Function

Pyruvate kinase isoform expressed in adult tissues, which replaces isoform M2 after birth. In contrast to isoform M2, has high pyruvate kinase activity by itself and does not require allosteric activation by D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) for activity.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm
Pathway: Carbohydrate degradation; glycolysis; pyruvate from D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate: step 5/5

Product Specifications

Recombinant Rat Pyruvate kinase PKM (Pkm) is a recombinant protein from Rattus norvegicus (Rat), expressed in Baculovirus, covering amino acids 1-531aa, with N-terminal 10xHis-tagged and C-terminal Myc-tagged tag, molecular weight 61.8kDa, purity Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE.. Suitable for ELISA and Western Blot applications.

SDS-PAGE: Single band at expected molecular weight confirming purity.

ELISA: Suitable as coating antigen or detection standard.

Western Blot: Compatible with standard Western Blot protocols.

Cytoplasm

Subunit

Monomer and homotetramer; exists as a monomer in the absence of D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), and reversibly associates to form a homotetramer in the presence of FBP. The monomeric form binds 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3). Tetramer formation induces pyruvate kinase activity. The tetrameric form has high affinity for the substrate and is associated within the glycolytic enzyme complex. FBP stimulates the formation of tetramers from dimers. Homodimer; exists in a dimeric form in tumor cells and the dimeric form has less affinity for the phosphoenolpyruvate substrate. The homodimer converts into a protein kinase. Interacts with HERC1, POU5F1 and PML. Interacts with EGLN3; the interaction hydroxylates PKM under hypoxia and enhances binding to HIF1A. Interacts with HIF1A; the interaction is enhanced by binding of EGLN3, promoting enhanced transcription activity under hypoxia. Interacts with TRIM35; this interaction prevents FGFR1-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation. Interacts with JMJD8. Interacts with TRAF4. Interacts with (phosphorylated) CTNNB1; leading to activate transcription. Interacts with TSC22D2; the interaction results in reduced nuclear levels of PKM isoform M2, leading to repression of cyclin CCND1 transcription and reduced cell growth (By similarity)
