A 1932 bp cDNA clone encoding a novel isozyme of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFK-2/ FBPase-2) was isolated from a mouse kidney cDNA library. The sequence encodes 519 amino acids and, based on homology to rat heart genomic sequence, appears to be the product of alternative splicing from PFK-2/FBPase-2 gene B with an extended version of exon 15. Northern blot analysis indicated that this clone corresponds to an 8 kb mRNA expressed in multiple tissues, with the strongest signal in kidney, and detects several additional transcripts which may be alternatively spliced from gene B.
