INTRODUCTION
Pyruvate kinase is a key enzyme in the glycolytic pathway. The M2 isoenzyme of pyruvate kinase is specifically expressed at high levels in tumor cells, and can be measured in plasma of patients with advanced breast cancer. The marker is useful for measuring disease activity, sensitivity to chemotherapy and recurrence.

DESCRIPTION
PKM2 Human Recombinant fused with a 20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 551 amino acids (1-531 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 60.1kDa. The PKM2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
