Pyruvate kinase M (PKM) serves as a critical metabolic gatekeeper, catalyzing the final rate-limiting step of glycolysis by converting phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate. This enzyme has garnered significant research attention due to its central role in the Warburg effect, where cancer cells preferentially utilize aerobic glycolysis even in oxygen-rich conditions. The PKM2 isoform, in particular, has emerged as a key player in tumor metabolism and proliferation, making it an essential target for cancer biology, metabolic research, and therapeutic development studies.
This recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody (clone 7B2) offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human PKM2, the recombinant format ensures sequence-defined specificity and eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations.
Validation data demonstrates robust performance across diverse applications and sample types. Western blot analysis confirms detection of a 58 kDa band—consistent with predicted molecular weight—across multiple human cell lines including SH-SY5Y, Jurkat, MCF-7, HeLa, Raji, and HEK293, as well as mouse brain tissue, confirming cross-species reactivity. Immunohistochemistry staining in paraffin-embedded human lung cancer tissue reveals clear target localization, while immunofluorescence in HeLa cells and flow cytometry analysis in HepG2 cells further demonstrate the antibody's versatility. Immunoprecipitation capability has been validated in HeLa lysates, enabling protein interaction and complex isolation studies.
Whether investigating metabolic reprogramming in oncology models, exploring PKM's nuclear signaling functions, or examining its role as a thyroid hormone-binding protein, this antibody provides the application flexibility and cross-species reactivity needed for comprehensive target characterization.
