PGK2 Human, Active

Source: Escherichia Coli.Sterile Filtered colorless solution.PGK2, also known as Phosphoglycerate kinase 2, is a testis-specific form of phosphoglycerate kinase.Originally, it was assumed that PGK2was a pseudogene. However, nowadays it is known that this protein is a functional phosphoglycerate kinase. During the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway of glycolysis, in thelater stages of spermatogenesis, the protein catalyses the reversible conversion of 1, 3- bisphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate.PGK2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 437 amino acids (1-417a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 46.9kDa.PGK2 is fused to a 20 amino acid His tag at N-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
