Molecular cloning of the complementary DNA for the mouse pyruvate kinase M-2 gene whose expression is dependent upon cell differentiation

Biochim Biophys Acta. 1995 Jun 20;1267(2-3):135-8. doi: 10.1016/0167-4889(95)00071-y.

Abstract

A cDNA encoding M2-type pyruvate kinase from mouse was cloned and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The cDNA encoded a protein containing 531 amino acids, the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of which were 93.2% and 98.1%, respectively, homologous to those of rat M2 pyruvate kinase. Expression of the pyruvate kinase in mouse embryonal carcinoma P19 cells altered according to differentiation stages; high at undifferentiated and low at differentiated stages.
