Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.\u003cbr\u003e\nWe will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis product is subject to limited use licenses from The Broad Institute and ERS Genomics Limited, and is developed with patented technology.

It has a molecular mass of around 69 kDa. PCK1 is primarily expressed in the liver kidney and adipose tissues. Through its enzymatic activity PCK1 helps to regulate blood glucose levels allowing for the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nPCK1 is essential for maintaining glucose homeostasis in the body. Although not part of a larger protein complex its function directly impacts the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle by providing substrates for glucose synthesis. By orchestrating the conversion of oxaloacetate to PEP PCK1 contributes significantly to reducing dependency on dietary carbohydrates particularly during fasting or intensive physical activity.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nPCK1 integrates critical metabolic processes. It mainly influences the gluconeogenesis and glycolysis pathways. In the gluconeogenesis pathway PCK1 coordinates with enzymes such as glucose-6-phosphatase to facilitate the generation of glucose from lactate and amino acids. Additionally its role in glycolysis intersects with enzymes like pyruvate kinase managing energy production and consumption.\u003cbr\u003e\nPCK1 links to conditions such as diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. Altered expression or function of PCK1 can lead to disturbances in glucose metabolism. In diabetes dysregulation of PCK1 expression can contribute to hyperglycemia. Additionally PCK1 and its interaction with insulin signaling pathways is critical as insulin resistance is an important feature of metabolic syndrome. Understanding these connections offers potential avenues for therapeutic intervention in metabolic diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845081911465,"sku":"ab301135","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab301135","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
