Description
Pyruvate kinase (PK) regulates the final rate-limiting step of glycolysis in the production of pyruvate and
adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Alternate splicing of PKM pre-mRNA leads to PKM2 generation by the
inclusion of exon 10 and the exclusion of exon 9, which is specific for PKM1. Besides its cytosolic roles in
glycolysis, PKM2, which is upregulated by growth factor receptor activation 1, is phosphorylated at S37 by
extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 2. This phosphorylation leads to the cis-trans isomerization of
PKM2 by the peptidyl-proline isomerase protein interacting
with never in mitosis A 1 (PIN1), exposure of the nuclear
localization signal (NLS) of PKM2, and subsequent binding of
importin Alpha-5 for nuclear translocation 2. In the nucleus, PKM2
binds to phosphorylated Y333 of B-catenin, which is essential
for B-catenin transactivation 3, and interacts with and
phosphorylates histone H3 at T11, leading to H3-K9
acetylation and transcription of genes such as MYC and
CCND1 4. c-Myc expression results in the upregulation of
GLUT1, lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), and, in a positive
feedback loop, PTB-dependent PKM2, which subsequently
enhances the Warburg effect 2. Cyclin D1 expression, in turn,
promotes G1-S phase transition 3, 4.
Specificity: The antibody detects endogenous levels of total PKM2 protein.
