PGK2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 437 amino acids (1-417 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 46.9kDa.PGK2 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
PGK2 is a testis-specific form of phosphoglycerate kinase. Originally presumed to be a pseudogene, the PGK2 protein is actually a functional phosphoglycerate kinase which catalyzes the reversible conversion of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate, during the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway of glycolysis, in the later stages of spermatogenesis. The PGK2 gene is intronless, results from retrotransposition of the phosphoglycerate kinase 1 gene, and is expressed specifically in the testis.
