Recombinant human PKLR protein
PKLR is a pyruvate kinase that catalyzes the transphosphorylation of phohsphoenolpyruvate into pyruvate and ATP, which is the rate-limiting step of glycolysis. The PKLR gene encodes the L- and R-type isoenzymes through alternative splicing events under the control of different promoters. The L-type isoform also exists as a tetramer and is upregulated by glucose with implications in maturity-onset diabetes of the young. Recombinant human PKLR protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
