PFKL Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total PFKL protein.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human PFKL protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
Phosphofructokinase (PFK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate in glycolysis (1). There are three isozymes: muscle-type, liver-type, and platelet-type (2). The liver-type PFK (PFKL) is the predominant subunit of PFK found in the liver (1,3). Research studies have shown that because of its location on chromosome 21, this enzyme is overexpressed in Down Syndrome/trisomy 21 (3,4). PFKL also may have a role in the physiological response to a low fat diet (5).
