Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (gene PCK2) in human, monkey, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 70.7 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 71 kDa.
PEPCK-M (PCK2) is the mitochondrial form of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. It converts oxaloacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate, supporting gluconeogenesis from lactate, and has been studied in metabolic adaptation of cancer cells.
