Application

Anti-PKLR antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pyruvate kinase (PKLR) is needed for energy generation in erythrocytes. Deficiency of PKLR in mice reduces the risk of blood-stage malarial parasite Plasmodium chabaudi induced infection.

General description

Pyruvate kinase (PKLR) is a liver/erythrocyte-specific enzyme that exists as a tetramer. It comprises structural and functional domains namely N. A and C domains. The C domain is erythrocyte-specific and the A domain is active site residues. The PKLR gene is mapped to human chromosome 1q22.
