PKM2 polyclonal antibody Background :
In mammals, four different isoenzymes exist for pyruvate kinase. Pyruvate kinases are responsible for catalyzing the final step in glycolysis: the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate with the coinciding generation of ATP. The PKM (pyruvate kinase, muscle) gene encodes the M1- and M2-type isoenzymes through alternative splicing events. Both M1- and M2-type isoforms exists as tetramers and are stimulated by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. In addition, both isoforms exhibit thyroid hormone binding activity and may be referred to as CTHBP (cytosolic thyroid hormone-binding protein) or THBP1. The M2-type isoform also interacts with Oct-4 via its C-terminal domain, functioning to enhance Oct-4 transcriptional activity. Translocates to the nucleus in response to different apoptotic stimuli. Nuclear translocation is sufficient to induce cell death that is caspase independent, isoform-specific and independent of its enzymatic activity. Product :

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
