Human/Mouse/Rat PCK1 Antibody Summary

Species Reactivity

Human, Mouse, Rat

Specificity

Detects human, mouse, rat PCK1 in Western blots, and detects recombinant human PCK1 in direct ELISAs. In direct ELISAs, less than 3% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse PCK1 is observed.

Source

Polyclonal Sheep IgG

Purification

Antigen Affinity-purified

Immunogen

E. coli-derived recombinant human PCK1
Met1-Ile88
Accession # P35558

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with Trehalose. *Small pack size (SP) is supplied either lyophilized or as a 0.2 µm filtered solution in PBS.

Detection of Human, Mouse, and Rat PCK1 by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of human liver tissue, human kidney tissue, mouse kidney tissue, and rat liver tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat PCK1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF7316) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for PCK1 at approximately 68 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background: PCK1

PCK1 (Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, cytosolic; also PEPCK-C) is a 67-69 kDa cytosolic member of the phosphoenolpyruvate kinase (GTP) family of enzymes. It is found in hepatocytes, adipocytes, intestinal and renal proximal tubule epithelial cells. PCK1 is one of two enzymes that drive the conversion of oxaloacetate plus GTP into PEP, GDP and CO₂. The PEP generated in this reaction forms glucose via fructose phosphate intermediates. The other enzyme that has this activity is termed PEPCK-M and found in mitochondria. Human PCK1 is 622 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a large catalytic region (aa 27-615) and three utilized acetylation sites. There is one potential alternative start site at Met315. Over aa 1-88, human PCK1 shares 80% aa sequence identity with mouse PCK1.
