Anti-PKM2 is directed against human PKM2 at an internal position. 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.

Target Information

PKM2 is a pyruvate kinase that catalyzes the production of phosphoenolpyruvate from pyruvate and ATP. PKM2 has been shown to interact with thyroid hormone, and thus may mediate cellular metabolic effects induced by thyroid hormones. PKM2 has been found to bind Opa protein, a bacterial outer membrane protein involved in gonococcal adherence to and invasion of human cells, suggesting a role of this protein in bacterial pathogenesis. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding two distinct isoforms of PKM2 have been reported.
