SYNONYMS
Pyruvate kinase I, PK-1, pykF, b1676, JW1666.
INTRODUCTION
pykF (pyruvate kinase I) is a member of the pyruvate kinase family. pykF is an enzyme involved in glycolysis. pykF catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to ADP, yielding one molecule of pyruvate and one molecule of ATP, a process which also requires a Magnesium ion. This is the final step in the glycolytic pathway, which produces pyruvate molecules, the ultimate product of aerobic glycolysis.
DESCRIPTION
pykF E.Coli Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 494 amino acids (1-470 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 53.3kDa.
pykF is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
