PKLR, 47-574aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

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.
