Application

Rabbit Anti-PCK1 (AB2) antibody can be used for western blot applications at a concentration of 1.25µg/ml. It can also be used for IHC at 4-8µg/ml using paraffin-embedded tissues.

Biochem/physiol Actions

PCK1 is a main control point for the regulation of gluconeogenesis. The cytosolic enzyme encoded by this gene, along with GTP, catalyzes the formation of phosphoenolpyruvate from oxaloacetate, with the release of carbon dioxide and GDP. The expression of PCK1 can be regulated by insulin, glucocorticoids, glucagon, cAMP, and diet.This gene is a main control point for the regulation of gluconeogenesis.

The expression of this gene can be regulated by insulin, glucocorticoids, glucagon, cAMP, and diet. Defects in this gene are a cause of cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase deficiency. A mitochondrial isozyme of the encoded protein also has been characterized. Publication Note: This RefSeq record includes a subset of the publications that are available for this gene.
