| Description | GlycoFlux™ Lenti-PCK2 Viral Particle delivers PCK2, the mitochondrial PEPCK isoform that produces phosphoenolpyruvate from oxaloacetate to support gluconeogenesis. The replication-defective system enables the creation of stable mammalian cell lines for compartment-specific carbon routing, anaplerosis studies, and isoform interplay analyses with straightforward selection or marker-guided enrichment. |
| Product Type | Recombinant Lentivirus |
| Target | PCK2 |
| Species | Human |
| Promotor | EF1a |
| Packaging System | Lentivirus |
| Packaging Cell | HEK293T |
| Application | The lentiviral vector is a powerful, HIV-based system used for gene delivery, notable for its ability to transduce both dividing and non-dividing cells (e.g., neurons, stem cells). It permanently integrates the gene into the host genome, ensuring long-term, sustained expression for applications in research and studies related to gene therapy. |
| Shipping | Shipped on dry ice with temperature held at or below -80°C. |
| Storage | Store at -80°C to maintain their titer and stability. |
| Handling Notes | Store products at -80°C, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain viral titer. For safety, always handle the products in a biological safety cabinet, using appropriate personal protective equipment like lab coats, gloves, and eye protection. |
| Product Disclaimer | These products are for research use only and not for diagnostic or clinical use. The user assumes full responsibility for all safety protocols and compliance with relevant regulations. While we are committed to quality, Creative Biolabs makes no guarantee as to the performance of these products in a specific application. |
| Titer Assay | qPCR |
| Mycoplasma Test | Negative |
| Sterility | Sterility testing confirmed no microbial contamination. |
| Transduction Evaluation | On request, Creative Biolabs conducts in vitro or in vivo transduction assays to evaluate lentiviral delivery to target cells and to quantify transgene expression and function. |
| Insert Identity Confirmation | All lentiviral vectors at Creative Biolabs are verified for correct proviral integration by PCR. In this assay, cells are transduced with serial dilutions of the lentiviral vector, harvested after a few days, and genomic DNA is isolated. A defined region of the expected lentiviral insert is then PCR-amplified to confirm identity. |
| Full Name | Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase 2, Mitochondrial |
| Alternative Name | PEPCK; PEPCK2; mtPCK2; PEPCK-M |
| Location | 14q11.2-q12 |
| Gene ID | 5106 |
| Summary | This gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme involved in gluconeogenesis, converting oxaloacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate. The cytosolic form plays a critical role in liver gluconeogenesis. Alternative splicing produces different isoforms. |
