Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-PCK2 antibody (AB70359)
IHC image of PCK2 staining in normal human liver formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution
- for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab70659, 1µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-PCK2 antibody (AB70359)
ab70359 staining Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase [GTP], mitochondrial precursor in MCF7 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab70359 at 1μg/ml and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-PCK2 antibody (AB70359)
PCK2 was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg HepG2 whole cell extract, 5µg of Rabbit polyclonal to PCK2 and 50µl of protein G magnetic beads (+). No antibody was added to the control (-).
The antibody was incubated under agitation with Protein G beads for 10min, HepG2 whole cell extract lysate diluted in RIPA buffer was added to each sample and incubated for a further 10min under agitation.
Proteins were eluted by addition of 40µl SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10min at 70oC; 10µl of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab70359.

Biological function summary
PCK2 contributes to the regulation of glucose homeostasis. It achieves this by being a part of the gluconeogenic pathway working in concert with cytosolic PCK1. PCK2 does not work alone; it integrates into a larger metabolic framework that includes various enzymes essential for converting different substrates into glucose. This enzyme is notably active during fasting states or periods of high energy demands such as intense exercise ensuring a continuous supply of glucose to maintain cellular functions.
Pathways
PCK2 plays an important role in the gluconeogenesis and TCA cycle. The gluconeogenesis pathway allows the liver and kidney to produce glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates which is integral during fasting and low-carbohydrate diet. It is functionally linked with other key enzymes like pyruvate carboxylase in converting pyruvate to glucose and also cooperates with malate dehydrogenase in the TCA cycle. This cooperation ensures efficient energy production and conversion balance in the cell.
