TKFC catalyzes phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and forms cyclic FMN from FMN, linking sugar and cofactor metabolism. The TKFC antibody is widely used in metabolic and enzymology research to study carbohydrate utilization, vitamin metabolism, and redox regulation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTKFC is encoded by the TKFC gene located on human chromosome 17p13.1. The protein is approximately 585 amino acids long and localizes to the cytoplasm, particularly in liver and kidney tissues, where it supports energy metabolism and flavin cofactor recycling. TKFC functions as a bifunctional enzyme with separate kinase and cyclase domains, ensuring efficient coordination between sugar phosphorylation and FMN homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe TKFC antibody detects a 63 kilodalton protein by western blot and shows cytoplasmic staining under immunofluorescence microscopy. TKFC participates in glycerol metabolism by converting trioses into intermediates of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, thereby contributing to glucose homeostasis. Its FMN cyclase activity recycles flavin cofactors that support oxidative enzymes and mitochondrial redox balance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDefects in TKFC activity lead to impaired energy metabolism, elevated triose intermediates, and disturbances in flavin homeostasis. Although rare, TKFC deficiency has been linked to metabolic acidosis and hepatic dysfunction. Elevated TKFC expression in tumors reflects metabolic adaptation to high glycolytic flux and enhanced redox cycling, supporting cell proliferation under hypoxia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy connecting carbohydrate utilization and flavin metabolism, TKFC provides a unique window into cellular bioenergetics and redox control.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunofluorescence:\u003c\/strong\u003e visualize subcellular distribution and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e map target signal in tissue context and compare regions\/phenotypes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow cytometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify target-positive populations and signal shifts at single-cell resolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eELISA:\u003c\/strong\u003e support antibody-based quantification in assay formats where applicable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=TKFC - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=TKFC - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=TKFC - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/TKFC - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=TKFC+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 ug\/ml \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047295476077,"sku":"FY12658","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_359ddb4c-28c3-4fb3-b6c9-37b85440f5c5.jpg?v=1782237024","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/tkfc-antibody-triokinase-fmn-cyclase-bha17135561","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
