• Cat.No.: PFKFB3-215H
• Product Overview: Recombinant full-length human PFKFB3 was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: Sf9 Cells
• Tag: GST
• Description: PFKFB3 or 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 3 is a potent activator of a key regulatory enzyme in the glycolysis pathway called phosphofructokinase. Phosphofructokinase regulates the steady-state concentration of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, a potent activator of key regulatory enzyme of the glycolysis pathway. PFKFB3 is bifunctional, although the phosphatase activity is low due to a mutation in an active site which can be upregulated after phosphorylation by protein kinases. PFKFB3 may be responsible for sustaining the high glycolytic flux of rapidly proliferating leukemia cells and may represent a molecular target for chemotherapeutic intervention.
• Form: Recombinant protein stored in 50mM Tis-HCl, pH 7.5, 50mM NaCl, 10mM glutathione, 0.1mM EDTA, 0.25mM DTT, 0.1mM PMSF, 25% glycerol.
• Molecular Mass: ~83 kDa
• Purity: >95% by densitometry
• Applications: Western Blot
• Storage: Store product at –70 centigrade. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
• Concentration: 0.1 μg/μl
