Pyruvate carboxylase [9014-19-1]

Pyruvate carboxylase, a biotin-containing enzyme, catalyzes the carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate, a reaction dependent on HCO3− and MgATP. This enzyme is crucial for regulating whole-body energetics, influencing gluconeogenesis in the liver, fatty acid synthesis in adipocytes, and insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells [1] [2].
