PKLR Antibody / Pyruvate kinase isozymes L/R, 100 ug

Pyruvate kinase isozymes L/R is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PKLR gene. It is mapped to 1q21. The protein encoded by this gene is a pyruvate kinase that catalyzes the transphosphorylation of phohsphoenolpyruvate into pyruvate and ATP, which is the rate-limiting step of glycolysis. Defects in this enzyme, due to gene mutations or genetic variations, are the common cause of chronic hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia (CNSHA or HNSHA). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
