Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse/Rat PKM2 Antibody

Detection of Human, Mouse, and Rat PKM2 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human, Mouse, and Rat PKM2 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of A549 human lung carcinoma cell line, HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line, BaF3 mouse pro-B cell line, and Rat-2 rat embryonic fibroblast cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.25 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human PKM2 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB72441) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for PKM2 at approximately 60 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

PKM2 antibody in HeLa Human Cell Line by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

PKM2 in HeLa Human Cell Line.

PKM2 was detected in immersion fixed HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line using Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat PKM2 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB72441) at 25 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Detection of Human PKM2 antibody by Simple WesternTM.

Detection of Human PKM2 by Simple WesternTM.

Simple Western lane view shows lysate of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for PKM2 at approximately 61 kDa (as indicated) using 2.5 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat PKM2 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB72441). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.
Western Blot Shows Human PKM2 Antibody Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line.

Western Blot Shows Human PKM2 Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line.

Western blot shows lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma parental cell line and PKM2 knockout HeLa cell line (KO). PVDF membrane was probed with 0.25 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat PKM2 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB72441) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for PKM2 at approximately 60 kDa (as indicated) in the parental HeLa cell line, but is not detectable in knockout HeLa cell line. GAPDH (Catalog # AF5718) is shown as a loading control. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background: PKM2

PKM2 (Pyruvate Kinase isoenzyme M2; also p58, OIP3, THBP1 and CTHBP) is a 58-60 kDa member of the PK family of enzymes. It is widely expressed, being found both intracellularly and in blood, and represents the more common splice variant of the PKM gene. PKM2 generates ATP and pyruvate by catalyzing the transfer of a phosphoryl group from PEP to ADP. Thus, when active, PKM2 promotes energy production and glycolysis. PKM2 exists as a marginally active monomer, with full activity achieved through homotetramerization. Notably, in tumor cells, select oncogenes appear to induce PKM2 homodimerization which limits PKM2 activity. PKM2 is known to be regulated by the binding of T3 and Fru-1,6-bisP. Human PKM2 is 531 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a catalytic region (aa 43‑527) plus four utilized Ser/Thr and Tyr phosphorylation sites, respectively. PKM1 is another PKM gene splice variant that shows a 45 aa substitution for
aa 389‑433 of PKM2. This variant shows limited expression (striated muscle) and hyperbolic Michaelis-Menten kinetics. There are additional isoform variants of PKM2 that show either a deletion of aa 59‑132, or a 67 aa substitution for aa 1‑82. Over aa 434‑531, human PKM2 shares 95% aa sequence identity with mouse PKM2.
