PKLR, Control Peptide (Pyruvate Kinase Isozymes R/L, Pyruvate Kinase 1, R-type/L-type Pyruvate Kinas

Control peptide for P9545-03F. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol, yielding 2 ATP, 2 pyruvate, and 2 NADH + 2 H+ from each glucose molecule. The first two steps of glycolysis convert glucose-6-phosphate into a form that is easily cleaved into phosphorylated three-carbon units. , PKLR: rat, mouse, human: 574aa each - 62.3kD, Mouse chromosome: 3F1. Highly expressed in liver and RBCs. The PKLR gene codes for both the liver and red blood cell isozymes. The PKM2 gene, located on chromosome 15q22, encodes 2 muscle-specific isoforms, M1 and M2. The PK enzyme functions as a homotetramer. Studies with the rat enzyme suggested that the red cell type is longer than the liver type in the 5-prime terminal end, but the rest of the sequence is very similar. deduced protein sequence was similar to that of L-type PK, with an additional 31aa at the N terminus. Addiitonal studies demonstrated that the difference between the L- and R-type pyruvate kinases is due to tissue-specific mRNAs, likely resulting from differential processing of a common nuclear RNA precursor. Defects in this enzyme, due to gene mutations or genetic variations, are the common cause of chronic hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia (CNSHA or HNSHA).
