buffered aqueous glycerol solution
Quality Level
specific activity
5-25 units/mg protein (BCA)
concentration
≥0.5 mg/mL
foreign activity
lactic dehydrogenase ≤0.5%
storage temp.
−20°C
Application
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.
Pyruvate is critical for gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis, glyceroneogenesis, neurotransmitter biosynthesis and glucose-induced insulin, and is used to study these processes.
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.

The pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes is characterized by impaired insulin action and increased hepatic glucose production (HGP). Despite the importance of hepatic metabolic aberrations in diabetes development, there is currently no molecular probe that allows measurement of hepatic gluconeogenic
