Application
Pyruvate is critical for gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis, glyceroneogenesis, neurotransmitter biosynthesis and glucose-induced insulin, and is used to study these processes.
The enzyme from Sigma has been used as a positive control during the assay of pyruvate carboxylase activity in cell-free extracts of Corynebacterium glutamicum.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pyruvate carboxylase catalyzes the carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate. Pyruvate carboxylase is a mitochondrial protein that has a biotin prosthetic group that requiries magnesium or manganese and acetyl CoA.
Physical form
Solution in 50% glycerol containing 0.05 M Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 2 mM magnesium acetate and 1 mM EDTA.
Preparation Note
Affinity purified
Other Notes
One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of pyruvate and CO2 to oxalacetate per min at pH 7.8 at 30 °C.
Storage Class
10 - Combustible liquids

Expression of mRNA for pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is elevated at calving and during other physiological states when plasma NEFA concentrations are increased. The objective of this study was to determine the direct effects of fatty acids on expression of PC

Mutation of Arg427 and Arg472 in Rhizobium etli pyruvate carboxylase to serine or lysine greatly increased the activation constant (K(a)) of acetyl CoA, with the increase being greater for the Arg472 mutants. These results indicate that while both these residues

¹³C-Metabolic flux analysis (¹³C-MFA) is a standard technique to probe cellular metabolism and elucidate in vivo metabolic fluxes. 13C-Tracer selection is an important step in conducting ¹³C-MFA, however, current methods are restricted to trial-and-error approaches, which commonly focus on an

In previous research, a thiamine-auxotrophic yeast for alpha-ketoglutaric acid (KGA) overproduction was screened in our laboratory and named Yarrowia lipolytica WSH-Z06 (CCTCC no. M207143). However, the high concentration of by-products (mainly pyruvate) limited its application on an industrial scale. To
