Key Features of PGM2 Antibodies

PGM2 antibodies are widely used in molecular biology and diagnostic research. Common characteristics include:

PropertyDetails
Host SpeciesRabbit-derived (polyclonal and monoclonal variants)
ReactivityHuman (primary); predicted cross-reactivity with primates (e.g., orangutan)
ApplicationsWestern blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Flow Cytometry
Molecular Weight68 kDa (observed) ; aligns with UniProt’s predicted size
ImmunogenRecombinant fragments (e.g., aa 150–300) or full-length fusion proteins
StorageStable at -20°C in PBS with 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol

Mechanistic Insights

  • Enzymatic Activity:
    PGM2 converts ribose-1-phosphate to ribose-5-phosphate, critical for nucleotide salvage pathways . Its glucose isomerization activity supports glycolysis under fasting conditions .

  • Non-Canonical Roles:
    Nuclear translocation of PGM2 promotes DDR by stabilizing ROCK2 complexes, enabling DNA repair in cancer cells .

Clinical and Therapeutic Implications

  • Prognostic Utility:
    PGM2 overexpression is linked to shorter progression-free intervals (HR = 1.5; P = 0.003) in LUAD and chemoresistance in GBM .

  • Therapeutic Targeting:
    Inhibiting PGM2 or its partner ROCK2 synergizes with TMZ and anti-PD-L1 therapies, enhancing anti-tumor immunity in preclinical models .

Limitations and Future Directions

  • Current antibodies show limited cross-species reactivity (e.g., mouse/rat validation pending) .

  • Discrepancies in observed vs. predicted molecular weights require further validation .

  • Clinical trials targeting PGM2 in combination with immunotherapy are warranted.

Target Background

Function
This antibody targets Phosphoglycerate Mutase 2 (PGM2), an enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of 2-phosphoglycerate (2-PGA) and 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA). PGM2 is essential for guard cell function, playing a crucial role in stomatal movements regulated by blue light, abscisic acid (ABA), and low CO2 levels. Additionally, PGM2 is involved in fertility, particularly in pollen grain production.
Gene References Into Functions
  1. The genes At1g09780 and At3g08590, encoding PGM2 isoforms, have been shown to be critical for stomatal movement, vegetative growth, and pollen production. PMID: 21813794
