Description
PKM, also named as OIP3, PK2, PK3, PKM, p58, THBP1, CTHBP and Tumor M2-PK, belongs to the pyruvate kinase family. It is glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate(PEP) to ADP, generating ATP. It stimulates POU5F1-mediated transcriptional activation. PKM plays a general role in caspase independent cell death of tumor cells. PKM has 2 isoforms named PKM1 and PKM2. By the upstream metabolite fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, PKM1 is a constitutively active enzyme.The primary pyruvate kinase isoform before tumour development is PK-M1; however, the primary isoform from four independent tumours is PK-M2(PMID:18337823). This antibody is specific to PKM1 isoform
