The evaluate a potential tumor marker for RCC. Tumor formation is generally linked to an expansion of glycolytic phosphometabolite pools and aerobic glycolyticflux rates. To achieve this, tumor cells generally overexpress a special glycolytic isoenzyme, termed pyruvate kinase type M2. To establish the expansion of phosphometabolite pools pyruvate kinase switches between a tetrameric form with high phosphoenol-pyruvate (PEP) affinity and a dimeric form with a lower PEP affinity. The dimeric form is predominant in all tumors that have been investigated and has been termed TuM2Pk.
