Rat M2-PK (Pyruvate Kinase,M2) ELISA Kit (RTES00703)

Pyruvate Kinase M2 (M2-PK) is the embryonic and cancer-associated isoform of the terminal glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase, playing a central role in the Warburg effect and aerobic glycolysis that supports rapid tumor cell proliferation. Quantification of circulating M2-PK in rat models gives researchers a quantitative biomarker for metabolic reprogramming, tumor burden assessment, and evaluation of compounds targeting cancer cell metabolism.

This rat ELISA kit from Assay Genie is configured for quantitative detection of M2-PK using a colorimetric readout compatible with standard microplate reader instruments. The kit contains reagents sufficient for 96 determinations, accommodating the throughput of preclinical rodent studies where blood-derived specimens are collected longitudinally.

Investigators studying colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer, and other solid tumor models in rats rely on this ELISA-based M2-PK quantification to monitor disease progression and therapeutic response. Intended for research use only, the assay supports in vitro and ex vivo workflows in cancer metabolism research.
